The Book on Delino DeShields
Prospect Info
Delino DeShields
Born 8/16/1992
2B, HOU
The junior Delino is a shorter, stronger, faster and very righthanded version of his father. Which is to say, he's not very much like his father at all. What Delino is is a highly athletic all around ballplayer with superior defensive skills, plus plus speed, and a contact bat that should play at almost any position. While he's still a long way from MLB, his athleticism and bloodline propel him to the front of Houston's weak farm system right away. While it's hard to project his frame so early, he's looking like a second baseman in the Dustin Pedroia fashion to us right now.
