VYPE: Tell me about your teammates. What do you love about this group of guys?
Shamblin: The thing I love about my teammates the most is how we can joke around outside of baseball, then go into practice or a game and are completely locked back in and being there for each other. They all work so hard to put us in a good spot for the season, and it’s paying off.

be Kristy Ewers. She’s amazing and always willing to help me with no matter what it is. She always makes time for me when I need it.

game is mind blowing. He’s still young too and has plenty more years.
