Michael Thomas Shawaryn (born September 17, 1994) is an American professional baseball player in the Boston Red Sox organization.[1]

Shawaryn grew up in Carneys Point Township, New Jersey and graduated from Gloucester Catholic High School in 2013, where he pitched for the school's baseball team.[2]

Career

Shawaryn was recruited by Duke, Maryland, LSU, Stony Brook and Vanderbilt.[3] Shawaryn was also recruited by Monmouth, whose pitching coach soon left for Maryland. Shawaryn chose to play college baseball at Maryland, persuaded by the pitching coach who went to his games on the Terrapins' off days.[4] Shawaryn was previously drafted by the Kansas City Royals in the 32nd round of the 2013 MLB draft, but did not sign because of his commitment to Maryland.[3] Coming into the 2016 college season, Shawaryn was named a first team All-American.[5]

Shawaryn signed with the Boston Red Sox in July 2016. He then joined the Class A Short Season Lowell Spinners, where he posted a 2.87 ERA in 15.2 innings pitched. In 2017, he split time between the Class A Greenville Drive and the Class A-Advanced Salem Red Sox where he went a combined 8–7 with a 3.81 ERA between both clubs.[6]

Shawaryn started the 2018 season with the Double-A Portland Sea Dogs. In 19 appearances (all starts) with the Sea Dogs, he compiled a 6–8 record with 3.28 ERA, 99 strikeouts, and 27 walks in 112+23 innings pitched. Shawaryn was promoted to the Triple-A Pawtucket Red Sox on August 3.[7]
