LHP/1B Kelly Shearer performed in the shadows of Starling and Dodgers first-round pick James Loney on Elkins High's 2002 national championship team. He's now the star of the team, which was still alive in the state 5-A quarterfinals. He's more of a prospect as a pitcher, because he's a projectable lefty at 6-foot-4 and 200 pounds, and he throws 85-88 mph. But that also was the consensus on Loney before Los Angeles made him a first baseman, and Shearer has hit well this spring.
