## Scouting Reports

### Backyard Baseball 2001 and 2003

Shawn Green

Shawn is another pro who has a bat that is skewed towards power, with 82/100 power and 45 contact. In the field, he has some decent stats, with a 52 glove and 62 throwing strength. However, his lock is for right field, which is one of the positions who sees the ball hit to them the least. Shawn also has a perfect 100 left hook, so he can come in to pitch if you're in a pickle.

## League History

### BBL

#### Season 1

In the inaugural BBL draft, Shawn was taken 42nd overall in the 6th round by coach Yurya of the Monsters. Shawn had a very solid season in the middle of a potent Monsters' lineup.

#### Season 2

The next season, Yurya decided to get Shawn back on the Monsters, selecting him 29th overall in the 4th round. Shawn's numbers took a slight hit, and he was actually last on the team in batting average.

#### Season 3

With the expanded player field, Shawn fell slightly in the draft, taken with the 64th pick in the 3rd round by coach psanchez55 of the Astros. Shawn was a valued member of the Astros' doubles-minded offense. He batted 0.644, roping 30 doubles and driving in 43 runs.

#### Season 4

Shawn was taken with the 76th pick in the 4th round by coach JibboDaHibbo of the Brewers. Despite Shawn's amazing Season 3, he got even better the next season, hitting 32 seasons with 53 RBIs. The Brewers lost the Season 4 World Series.

#### Season 5

Perhaps after two successful seasons, Shawn's draft stock surged, as he was picked 50th overall in the 3rd round by coach Wizard of the Wombats. He didn't have as strong of a season as his previous two, but he did help the Wizards reach the NLCS.

#### Season 6

Shawn was picked in a similar spot, this time with the 48th pick in the second round by coach elchrisblanco of the Mariners. Shawn was one of four big bats on the Mariners, the only four players on the team to record 10+ RBIs.

#### Season 7

Shawn was taken 57th overall in the 3rd round by coach Mavfatha of the Orioles. Shawn had a down year, batting under 0.500 for the first time since Season 2.

#### Season 8

In Season 8, Shawn was drafted 52nd overall in the 3rd round by coach crazyei8hts of the Athletics. Shawn wasn't one of the big bats on the team, but he played his role.

In Game 2 of the NLDS against the Fishes, Shawn hit a "walk-off" 3-run home run in the bottom of the 5th inning at Scrapco Field that gave the A's the lead and the win to tie up the series.

#### Season 9

In Season 9, with player position locks abolished, Shawn's draft stock fell a bit, as he was drafted 82nd overall in the 4th round by coach shrewsbury91 of the Marlins, who eventually traded him to coach Itaniium of the Giants. Shawn's stat line was eerily similar to his Season 8, as he batted 0.547 with 16 runs scored and 16 runs driven in. Shawn once again reached the playoffs with the Giants, losing in the first round for the second straight season.
