Organization Prospect Rankings

Shackelford was a catcher for two seasons at Marshall before converting to the mound and catching the eye of scouts. He made strides as a pitcher in 2013, especially after being promoted from high Class A Brevard County to Double-A Huntsville. Used to close games there, Shackelford blossomed and held opponents to a .217 average over 20 appearances. He threw his fastball in the 92-95 mph range and touched as high as 97, with a two-seamer that bore down in the strike zone and induced groundballs. His slider can be a swing-and-miss pitch, and the combination of the two power pitches makes Shackelford profile as a late-inning reliever in the majors. He's athletic with a clean delivery, but he release point can wander, causing his slider consistency. Shackelford throws on a solid downhill plane because of his 6-foot-5 height and continued his late-season success in the Arizona Fall League, striking out 13 in 12 innings. If he doesn't begin 2014 at Triple-A Nashville, he ought to arrive at that level during the season. Shackelford could see action in the Brewers bullpen before the season is out.
