Jared Shuster

Jared Craig Shuster is one of the newcomers to the MLB. Drafted by the Atlanta Braves with the 25th overall pick in the 2020 MLB draft, the youngster played his rookie season with the Atlanta Braves. He was traded by the Atlanta Braves on November 17, 2023, to the Chicago White Sox in exchange for Aaron Bummer.

Hailing from New Bedford, Massachusetts, United States, Jared Shuster made his MLB debut with the Atlanta Braves on April 2, 2023. As a pitcher, he has become notable for his two-seam and four-seam fastballs, along with his changeup and slider, which have proved to be disadvantageous for the opponent batters. Moreover, his strong performance throughout his rookie season has also impressed his teammates and the Atlanta Braves fans.

Having scored 30 strikeouts in 52.2 innings so far in his career, Shuster has yet to develop himself further as a pitcher. His second year in the MLB with the Chicago White Sox in 2024 can provide the platform to achieve that.
