Scouting report

Shenton had a loud 2018 Cape, then regressed athletically the following spring and looked more like a future first baseman at FIU. He's still in the athletic bucket, looking pretty soft and unathletic. He still has power, though, and is short to the ball with lift. Shenton can also go down and scoop well-located pitches at the bottom of the zone and occasionally impact buried breaking balls when he feels the need to expand with two strikes. His swing looks vulnerable at the top of the zone because of its path but it might not be because of how short it is. Regardless, this is a 1B/DH-only athlete with a high offensive bar to clear.
