Shields could ascend up draft boards next spring much like Gordon Beckham did
during the spring of 2008 with a strong junior campaign. He, like Beckham the
year before, enjoyed a fine summer on the Cape this past year, although his
time was cut short when he injured his wrist sliding into a base. With very
good bat speed and solid offensive tools across the board, Shields has the
talent to be a game-changing infielder, with the ability to hit for a high
average and power while also having good enough wheels to be a threat on the
basepaths. His bat speed comes from very strong hands, wrists and forearms,
and he knows how to loft balls to give him double-digit home run potential.
Defensively he doesn't have ideal range at the shortstop position, as many
feel he may have to move to either 2B or 3B down the road, but he has plenty
of arm strength to play any infield position. He does run well and shows good
overall baseball instincts. Shields has posted solid numbers since stepping
onto campus, including his two summer stints (he was named one of the top
prospects in the Clark-Griffith League after his freshman year), and has
started at Florida Southern from day one. He is poised for a big junior year,
as more and more people will become familiar with his name between now and
next June.
