Jon Morgan Shields, Ambidextrous Pitcher

UPDATE: Well, I am now in the NCAA transfer portal and just signed with the CPL for this summer 2025! Having some cool successes on the mound (including pitching in the super regionals (2024) and hitting 94 several times in games with my left), I decided to move forward.  Endless thanks to working with Tread Athletics -- and Carsie Walker -- and the life-changing 2 weeks at the Tread's facility in Charolette, NC.  This training transformed mechanics and mental game, leading to more significantly more strikes, and therefore velo on the mound.

I am excited to sign with Coastal Plains League (CPL) this summer.  I want to thank the coaches from the Macon Bacon CPL team for this wonderful opportunity as a pitching starter. They average over 2,000 fans each game, and the CPL brings bragging rights of alumni like Pittsburgh Pirates' skipper, Justin Verlander, and many, many pros that have firmed up their careers at the CPL.

I am participating in the Tread Athletics Portal (click here to view invite & reserve spot either in person or remote)

In sum, come see me at the Portal Showcase. I believe am at a point where, I am proud to say, I have both control and velo. My short-term goal is to hit 95 Lefty and 93 righty! I feel I have about the same control as when I pitched my perfect game my junior HS year.
