How is Matt Shaw performing?
Matt Shaw is a high-contact power profile through 40 games. His 25% barrel rate ranks among the league's best for contact quality, but a 5% home-run rate and .125 ISO show he's not yet converting those barrels into power output. An 11.7% strikeout rate and 10.5% whiff rate are below average, meaning he makes consistent contact—the issue is gap power, not swing-and-miss. Speed is negligible at 1.8% stolen-base rate.
