Jeffrey Lee Shaw (born July 7, 1966) is a former Major League Baseball relief pitcher. 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 during a 12-year career from 1990 to 2001. His son, Travis Shaw, is a first baseman and third baseman for the Milwaukee Brewers.
Shaw started his baseball career at Washington Senior High School, located in Washington Court House, Ohio. While he was enrolled at the University of Rio Grande, he attended a tryout camp for the Cincinnati Reds during the summer of 1985, where he received little attention. He and his mother then drove to Columbus, Ohio to try out with the New York Yankees at the home field of New York's Class AAA affiliate, the Columbus Clippers. He drew the interest of scouts by upping the speed on his fastball from 84-85 to 93 mph while he played in a semipro league in Washington Court House. Shaw played for Cuyahoga Community College-West, but transferred to Cuyahoga Community College to be eligible for the draft. Shaw was the first pick of the beginning round of the 1986 amateur draft, signing on May 11, 1986.
Shaw made his major league debut on April 30, 1990. He played three seasons at Cleveland before going to the Montreal Expos, where he stayed for three more years. After a one season stint with the Chicago White Sox, Shaw moved to the Cincinnati Reds to be closer to his hometown and family. After an unexpected trade to the L.A. Dodgers, Shaw played another three seasons before retiring. He played his last game on October 6, 2001.
