Dan Shechyn  
Starting Pitcher | Owen Sound Crusaders

Pitching
Shechyn also has a solid changeup that he'll use at any point in the count. Shechyn can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
His slow delivery makes him fairly easy to steal upon, but Shechyn helps himself by holding runners with throws to first, and with slide steps and varied deliveries to home. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Shechyn is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Shechyn has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Owen Sound Crusaders have been known to use Shechyn as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
I can't say I know what The Owen Sound Crusaders were doing locking this guy up to a long term contract. A questionable call at best. Shechyn has below average skills, even for the low minors. One has to expect the Owen Sound Crusaders will give him his walking papers before the end of the season. I just don't know if The Owen Sound Crusaders are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
