    A little more info:

    Jeff Shanfeldt is a 2015 C with a 6-0 190 lb. frame from Garnet Valley, PA who attends Garnet Valley. Medium, athletic frame with a strong, mature build and physical frame. Ran a 7.39 60-yard dash. Primary catcher, short and compact arm action from ear, gains ground with lower half, quick release, strong arm down to second base, sound receiver, accurate throws. Right-handed hitter, starts with a high hand set and an upright stance. Short path to the ball, quick hands, generates leverage in swing, ball jumps when squared and shows strength to all fields. Busy load, patient approach with nice feel for the barrel. Named to Sunshine Northeast Top Prospect List. Very good student.

    Anyone know if they have started or are still going through with the baseball field renovations?

    Sean loves to recruit catchers then move them to other positions. Pacchioli, McKay, Abeln,Wilt Scarr, Nalesnik and R. Bonshak were all catchers in HS.

    Most of our position players return with plenty of depth. Losing Cassell, Cotzon, Burke and McNamara is going to hurt. The transfer will fill some shoes but we will need guys to step up quickly next year.

    Bumtoeplayer,
    Thanks for the great info and welcome to the site. It appears that Jeff may have a skill set that could translate almost anywhere around the diamond. I look forward to following his senior season at Garnet Valley and your future posts.

    Stabler Bum,
    In response to the question of the baseball and softball fields,there is a minor environmental issue with the baseball field. Since the same contractor is doing both, it would be financially more favorable to do both at the same time so there does not appear much progress to date. I was assured though that both would be done by spring.
