Jon Morgan Shields, Ambidextrous Pitcher

UPDATE: Well, I am now at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) which is (as of now) ranked #3 in South Region DII.  Having some cool successes on the mound and looking to get stonger with more experience. That's why I am excited to sign with the Medicine Hat Mavericks in the Western Canadian Baseball League this summer.  They average over 1,000 fans each game!  The most exciting thing is, on my left side, I regularly peak at 90-92mph off the mound in bullpens and 90 in games, except at U Tampa where my knees were shaking so much I apparently hit 93mph. Moreover, I am getting pretty good control of my splitfinger, slider, 2-seam and 4-seam with a decent spin rate.  Now, I am at a point where I am proud to say, I have both control and velo! I am about the same control as when I pitched my perfect game my junior year. Watch out, because next improves my right side!  

I think the reason for my increase in velo is my weight training (I am now 225, 6' 3") and my discipline of focusing on consistent, higher velocity, now cruising 89-90 on the mound.  I stand by the notion that I know we are creatures of habit, and the more good habits I maintain, the better ball player I am going to be. Keep watch in the next few years as I make the pros.
