Matt Shaw is Doing It Again

It’s been a little more than four weeks since the Cubs optioned Matt Shaw to Triple-A, where the organization was hopeful that their top prospect would regain the tools that made him successful climbing up through the system. Shaw posted below-average numbers at the plate in 18 games to begin the 2025 season that featured a lot of bad swing decisions, weak contact and an overall sense that Shaw was not playing like himself.

Following a slow start in Iowa after his demotion, Shaw appeared to have flipped the switch.
