Shane Demond Youman (born October 11, 1979 in New Iberia, Louisiana) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Lotte Giants.
Youman stands at 6' 4", and weighs 220 pounds. He attended Louisiana State. He made his major league debut for the Pittsburgh Pirates on September 10, 2006. He got his first career win on July 3, 2007 against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Youman is a classic "crafty" left-handed pitcher, with a fastball in the 84-88 MPH range and a hard slider, as well as a changeup. Youman was claimed off waivers by the Philadelphia Phillies on November 28, 2007. On March 19, 2008, he was sent outright to the minors, but was released in early June. Shortly thereafter, Youman signed with the Lancaster Barnstormers of the Atlantic League, where he made his debut on June 16, 2008.[1] He remained in the Atlantic League for parts of four seasons, pitching for five teams. On August 10, 2011 after pitching 13 games that season for the Long Island Ducks, Youman's contract was purchased by the Lamigo Monkeys in Taiwan.[2] In January 2012, Youman signed a one-year contract to pitch for the Lotte Giants of the Korea Professional Baseball League.[3]
