Shears (Tommy John surgery, March 2024) only pitched as a pro in 2023 thus far.
Find his game log here.
The longest of his 41 relief outings split between Carolina and Wisconsin has been 2.1 innings, accomplished three times.
With an MiLB TV subscription (highly suggested), you can pull up specific games, such as this July 4th Timber Rattlers home game vs. Beloit in which Shears went 2.1 hitless innings, pitching through the 8th, striking out four and walking one.
As it was a home game, the Wisconsin YouTube page has the highlight package, so go the 02:40 minute mark for Shears on the mound for three of those "Strike 3's".
Based on the timing of the surgery, a July 2025 return, when he'd be 26 years and one month old, would be welcome news.
