This week’s All Star Baseball Academy Player of the Week Award goes to Shawn Moffitt of the ASBA Prospect Team. Shawn is a senior at Downingtown East, and is currently coached by Steve Van Note. Shawn is an outfielder for Downingtown East High School.
On Saturday, November 5th, Shawn’s team played ASBA Broomall’s 18U Team for a variety of college coaches. Coaches were invited based on player interest. At the plate, Shawn was 3 for 5 with 2 singles and a triple and 2 runs batted in.
“I was very pleased with the opportunities that Shawn got with this team,” Shawn’s dad said. “I think the main benefit for him was the chance to play against a high level of talent around the country, and he was able to gauge where he’s at for playing at the next level. Steve was always willing to do extra work with him outside of practice, and he was very accommodating. He went the extra mile with the little things for Shawn, and overall it was a great experience for him.”
“Shawn played very well over the weekend and has played very consistent all summer and fall,” Coach Van Note said. “Shawn takes pride in each at bat. You will never see him give up an at bat. Some players like to swing for the fences or give in easily with 2 strikes, but Shawn battles every time he’s at the plate. He swung the bat for power this weekend, as well as clutch hitting with guys on base. To go along with his bat, Shawn also has a very strong arm which makes him a solid, all around outfielder.”
Shawn enjoyed the opportunity to play in front of college coaches, saying “The overall experience was great and every player got a good look from college coaches.”
Shawn is done playing for the fall, but be sure to keep an eye out for him in the spring.
