In his second at-bat, Matt Shaw works a full count and then grounds out on a chopper to first base. That's likely it for Shaw at the plate; Craig Counsell said this morning that Shaw will play just 4 innings today.

Matt Shaw's first at-bat of the spring is a groundout to short. He went after the first pitch he saw, something he did a few times during his at-bats against Luke Little and Cade Horton during yesterday's live sessions.
