Shpur, 24, took a less conventional path to pro baseball. He spent six seasons in college, including the last two at the University of Connecticut.
His final season at UConn turned heads, as he posted a .358 batting average with a .426 on-base percentage and a .521 slugging percentage.
Even more telling is his consistency. Across his full college career, Shpur maintained a .432 on-base percentage, showing a clear ability to get on base and control at-bats.
Listed at 5-foot-10 and 189 pounds, Shpur brings defensive flexibility, with experience across all three outfield spots—center, left, and right.
That versatility gives the Tigers options as they evaluate him within their system.
