Scouting Report:
Shannon is not only one of the top international pitching prospects, but is also one of the top blue chip hurlers in the baseball world. This 6’3” left-hander came to us from South Africa to show his talents to the colleges in the states at the Tampa Bay Devil Rays Complex in St. Petersburg Florida. He flashed an 89 MPH fastball with a dazzling curve ball and was easily the best pitching prospect we had to offer. Although he has heard from a number of colleges he is still wide open to offers from other Division I colleges and Junior colleges. Academically, he recently has re-taken the SAT and is waiting for the results. Shannon is a diamond in the ruff! Super Prospect!
