Career highlights and awards

Jeffrey Lee Shaw (born July 7, 1966 in Washington Court House, Ohio) is a former Major League Baseball relief pitcher who had a 12-year career from 1990 to 2001. He played for the Cleveland Indians and Chicago White Sox of the American League, and the Montreal Expos, Cincinnati Reds and Los Angeles Dodgers of the National League.

He was elected to the National League All-Star team twice (1998 and 2001). He was selected to the 1998 All Star Game as a member of the Cincinnati Reds, but was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers at the beginning of the All Star break, thus his first game he pitched in a Dodger uniform was in the 1998 All Star Game.

Shaw was probably best known for his split-fingered fastball, which was his strikeout pitch. It was the lack of movement on this pitch that led to Shaw's highs and lows as a major-leaguer.
