    The 6-foot-4, 190-pound Shinskie was the best quarterback in a state with a rich history of producing top quarterbacks. He was offered scholarships to several Big 10 Conference schools, but chose instead to sign with Delaware to play baseball. College is a secondary consideration, though, because he's expected to be among the first 100 players drafted. He has a big league mound presence, but the time he's spent away from baseball shows in the command of his stuff. He has trouble controlling a 90-92 mph breaking ball and doesn't have a feel yet for a hard, slurvy breaking ball.
