Nov 2020 Report

Evaluator: Matt Thompson

Age: 26 yr
Height: 5-9
Weight: 185 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/R
Acquired: 2015 Draft - Round 13, WSH
RuleV: On 40 man

Physical Description: Short, boxy frame. Likely heavier than listed 185, but proportioned.

Hit: Strong bat-to-ball and pitch recognition skills. Line drive oriented stroke to all fields. 2019 in Triple-A was the first time in his career he had a double digit strikeout rate. He will battle hard to sneak pitches by him, especially fastballs. Prone to weak contact for the sake of making contact though. Grade: 55

Power: The lack of power is the biggest weakness. Doesn't hit for enough power to be an everyday player. Extra base hits are gap-to-gap or ground balls down the line. Grade: 30

Field: Steady hands, will make the routine play but lacks agility, foot speed and arm to be impact defender. A heavy shifting team can use him at second base but he might be best suited for third base defensively, but doesn't have the bat for the position. Grade: 50

Arm: Accurate but lacks carry. Grade: 40

Run: Below average runner, but smart on the basepaths. Grade: 45

Overall: Shrock will go as far as the hit tool will allow him. It's the carrying tool here. He fits well in the National League style of play when you needed a pure pinch hitter, but with the universal DH likely coming that will close that door. Currently he's a utility infielder that can't play short.
