Kansas-bred freshman infielder with legit infield pedigree and a quiet bat still getting its footing
In the 2026 season, Creighton freshman Brody Shinkle has seen limited action, but his profile still pops: he was a top-500 Perfect Game prospect, ranked as Kansas’s No. 2 shortstop and the state’s No. 18 overall player by Prep Baseball Report, and twice earned Kansas all-state honors in high school. He’s a right-handed, middle-infield type with a solid 5-foot-10, 185-pound frame and a reputation for steady, competitive play. If you want a young infielder with upside and a strong résumé, he’s worth a closer look; if you need an immediate impact bat, the sample is still small.
