College: Baylor University Position: First Baseman Bats/Throws: L/R Height/Weight: 6'0" / 195 lbs Thick and well built; large shoulders; thick thighs Controlled short path to the ball, uses lower half well Patient approach, occasionally to his detriment; called out on strikes by taking back-to-back borderline curve balls on outside corner Turned on pitch well to hit Jungmann fastball up over plate out to right-center field Misplayed ground ball early in game, did a good job blocking it with body, but hands looked a bit suspect throughout the night Had trouble adjusting to Milner's breaking balls, but did manage to double over right fielder's head off a LHR's breaking ball All balls in play were pulled in these two games

6-14-11: - http://bullpenbanter.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=392:college-baseball-weekend-04-observations&catid=18:articles&Itemid=11  - Player: Richie Shaffer College: Clemson University Position: First Base Bats/Throws: R/R Height/Weight: 6'3" / 205 lbs. Lifts leg slightly; quiet swing, extends arms well Took pitches on outer half; was a bit too passive on those pitches; looked for something inside he could drive Turned and crushed an inside fastball over the fence; announcer said it was into a strong headlong wind Great job of stretching for an off target throw (high and to the left of first base) while holding the bag
