Shane Keup brings strike-throwing depth, academic polish, and late-inning value to Winthrop's staff
In 2025, Keup was a useful multi-role arm for Winthrop, posting a 3-3 record with a 5.97 ERA over 37.2 innings, 34 strikeouts, two saves, and a combined shutout while limiting hitters to a .261 average; in Big South play, he also held opponents to a .255 clip[2][6]. His differentiators are command, versatility, and reliability in leverage spots, plus a standout academic profile that earned Big South honors and a graduate fellowship award[1][2]. If your team wants a right-handed pitcher who can cover innings and handle pressure without the drama, he fits the bill.
