Shepardson has a wiry frame at 6 feet, 170 pounds. He repeats his delivery and is able to pound the strike zone. He recently sat 84-86, touching 88, with late tailing action and is able to locate his fastball to both sides of the plate. He has late fade on 74-76 changeup, arguably his best secondary offering. He also works with a curveball in the upper 70s and slider in the low 80s.

Uncommitted. A wiry strong 6 foot, 170 pounds with good balance in his delivery. The righty from the Centennial State has exceptional pitchability, as he can throw 4 pitches for strikes in any count. He sits into his legs well, moving gracefully down the mound with consistent direction and good lower half mechanics before & after landing. He repeats a clean, deceptive short circle AA. The FB 85-86 T88 late tail, and dots both edges to get ahead on hitters. Has a devastating FB/CH combo in on RHH that few HS arms possess. Shepardson’s CH is a future plus or better pitch thats heavy w/ sudden fade at 74-76. His 77-78 CB has tight rotation & 2 plane shape and he already shows command to both edges with the pitch. Last but not least, his low 80’s SL tunnels well with the FB and has a short, vertical action with extremely late depth. This is a college coach's dream weekend starter.
