Biography

Guilliams Notes: "The word I would use to describe him is poise. He has three very good pitches. He spots his fastball exceptionally well. He's got a good curveball and an outstanding change up. He set a new all-time Northwoods League record this summer with 23 saves. Shawn is penciled in as our closer but he also has the ability to start. When he comes in the game I have all the confidence that he's going to challenge hitters. Offensively, he has a lot of power and he's a very smart hitter. He's able to sit on pitches and drive the ball to all fields and is going to be another key RBI guy for us."
