| Summary: Sheffer is a smooth, projectable shortstop with true actions and the athleticism to stay at the position long term. The hands are soft, the internal clock is natural, and the footwork shows fluidity beyond his age. His range plays comfortably to both sides, supported by plus speed and a balanced, confident tempo on routine and on-the-move plays. The defensive foundation is already strong, and continued physical maturity should only sharpen his polish at short. Offensively, he brings a rhythmic, gap-to-gap approach built on loose wrists and advanced barrel control. His load is clean, his forward move stays balanced, and the swing produces consistent line-drive contact with projection for more strength and impact as he fills out. He held his own in a tough Scout League environment and shows clear top-of-the-order traits—contact skills, speed, and approach trends that fit a modern leadoff profile. | |||||||||||
