Small School, Big Talent

Robbie Shields always had dreamed of playing shortstop at Miami. During his prep career Pasco High in Dade City, Fla., he earned county player of the year honors as a senior, when he hit a cartoonish .553 with 18 home runs. Shields had several strong Division II and junior-college options once it came time to move to the next level, but no major Division I school recruited the 6-foot-1, 195-pound shortstop.
