Caden Shanks is emerging as a versatile two-way piece for Lipscomb
In the 2026 season, Lipscomb’s Caden Shanks showed real value as a 6-foot-2 redshirt freshman who can handle shortstop and right-handed pitching, posting a 2-1 record with 13 strikeouts in 17.1 innings and earning the win in Lipscomb’s ASUN tournament title run. He looks like a useful fit for teams that want a competitive, multi-positional player with mound utility, not just a box-score guy. The biggest differentiator: he’s already trusted in meaningful spots, and that usually says plenty about feel, toughness, and coach confidence.
