3/02/25
Shepherd is a compact, athletic 5-foot-9, 160-pound catcher with strong all-around tools. Offensively, he features a short, direct right-handed swing with occasional lift and standout contact skills, reaching a 312’ max distance and 86 mph top exit velocity. A 6.90 runner, Shepherd accelerates well (1.63 10-yard), adding athletic value behind the dish. He posted 1.95–2.00 pop times on a loose, athletic 76 mph arm with a fast transfer, and shows advanced receiving ability for his class.

Shepherd walked away as one of the biggest winners of the event, showcasing catch and throw prowess with a 79 mph arm from the crouch that translated to pops in the 1.9s. His 6.85 60-yard dash is a very solid time for the age and position, while his 5-foot-9, 150 pound frame still holds room for strength gains. Offensively, Shepherd showed a short, upward swing with quick hands and developing barrel strength.
