2024 Fantasy Outlook
Shaw didn't face great competition while playing three years for Maryland, but he mashed with a wood bat (1.006 OPS) in the Cape Cod League in 2022 and excelled in his pro debut after the Cubs selected him with the 13th overall pick. He hit .500 with one home run in three Arizona Complex League games before a quick promotion to High-A. The 5-foot-11 infielder slashed .393/.427/.655 with four home runs, seven steals and 12 strikeouts in 20 games in the Midwest League before getting promoted again to Double-A. Shaw fared well again, hitting .292 with three home runs, six steals and a 17.1 K% in 15 games in the Southern League to close the year. He makes consistent contact and hits the ball to all fields. Shaw has a chance to hit 20-plus home runs while stealing 20-plus bases and hitting for a high average during his prime years. His defensive home is unclear, as he fits best at second base, but that's Nico Hoerner's spot. Neither Shaw or Hoerner have an ideal arm for the left side of the infield, which complicates matters. Nonetheless, Shaw's bat will likely look big-league ready by the middle of the summer. Read Past Outlooks
Moves past back issue
Shaw (back) returned to the lineup for Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday and Thursday and went 2-for-9 with an RBI between the two contests.
ANALYSIS
Shaw missed about a week and a half with a back strain but was never forced to go on the 7-day injured list. Since receiving a promotion to Triple-A in early August, the 22-year-old infielder is slashing .250/.370/.412 with three home runs and three stolen bases across 81 plate appearances.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Offseason trade unlikely
Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network doesn't expect Shaw to be traded by the Cubs during the offseason.
ANALYSIS
Shaw is the organization's top prospect but doesn't have a path to playing time in the immediate future, so it could make some sense for Chicago to consider a trade this winter. However, the 23-year-old has only 35 games under his belt at the Triple-A level, and the Cubs could also lose a handful of key players to free agency over the next two years. Nico Hoerner also underwent elbow surgery in mid-October and isn't guaranteed to be healthy for Opening Day.
