PERSONAL

Son of Mark and Julie Shaw
Has one older brother, Wyatt
His grandpa, Jack Hoppe, played college baseball at Minnesota when they won the College World Series in 1956
His uncle, Dennis Hoppe, played baseball in the Minnesota Twins organization, making it as high as Triple-A
Picked Kansas over Purdue, Grand Canyon, Ohio State, Tulane, New Mexico State and Utah
Chose Kansas because, “Kansas was one of the first schools to reach out to me and one of the only ones to come down to Cochise to watch me play. The coaching staff stayed in touch with me the most out of any other school, always making sure everything was good and always expressing how much they wanted me to become a Jayhawk. Then, I finally came for a visit and I got to meet the rest of the coaching staff in person that I hadn’t already met, along with some of the players. All of them were great and made me feel right at home. The coaching staff also filled me in on a plan that they had for my future and showed that they truly care about my future as a person and as a player. Everything made me feel at home, the campus was beautiful, the people were great and the baseball is great too, so it felt like the right move.”
