Our Pirates Winter Report highlights one Pittsburgh Pirates prospect each week, with brief notes from each country playing winter ball. This week we feature catcher Dylan Shockley, who spent this off-season in Australia.
Dylan Shockley has the defense behind the plate to make the majors.
The 34th round pick in the 2019 draft came into the 2022 season with just 63 games of pro experience. An injury to Henry Davis opened up playing time behind the plate this past year in Altoona. However, Shockley suffered his own season-ending injury to his thumb in July.
