Jordan Sheffield’s Scouting Report
Sheffield is a very skilled righty and the brother of Justus Sheffield, who was taken by the Indians in the first-round of the 2014 draft. Sheffield has two plus pitches (fastball and slider) and the potential to develop a third (changeup). He does tend to overthrow and needs to work on repeating his delivery. He also has a troubling injury history and that could push his stock down some. Overall, Sheffield has plenty of potential and could be a future star at the big league level if he stays healthy.

- Solid fastball with good movement
- Above average changeup
- Above average slider
- Good strikeout pitcher, struck out 10 batters per nine innings his junior year at Vanderbilt
Weaknesses
- Injury history
- Needs to improve his mechanics
- Needs to improve his command
Pitches
Fastball: 94-98 MPH
Changeup: Mid-80’s MPH
Slider: Low-80’s MPH
