\n\tWaterloo, IA – The Waterloo Bucks have announced that right-handed pitcher Tim Shannon has re-signed to play with Waterloo for the 2015 season.  Shannon, \"OLYMPUS<\/a>a sophomore at the University of Minnesota, is the first player to be named to the Bucks’ roster for the team’s 21st<\/sup> season.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tLast season, Shannon appeared in 13 games for Waterloo, finishing the year with a 1-3 record and 21 strikeouts.  The 6’7”, 230-pounder started six games, threw 41.1 innings, and ended with a 5.23 ERA.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t“I can't wait to return to Waterloo for another season, as I loved my experience with the Bucks in 2014,” said Shannon.  “I am also very excited to play for (field manager) Tony Manville this year and know he will do great things for the organization.”\n<\/p>\n

\n\tA native of Hopkins, Minnesota, Shannon redshirted with the Golden Gophers in 2014.  He transferred to Minnesota from the University of Michigan.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t“He is a good right-handed arm, that came in on a temporary contract at the beginning of last season and worked his way into a full contract," said Bucks general manager Dan Corbin.  "Tim is able to repeat his delivery very well and does things pretty smoothly.  He’s is somebody that should have a good future in baseball.”\n<\/p>\n

\n\tBorn September 6, 1993, Shannon played baseball at Hopkins High School where he was an All-State honoree, a Star Tribune<\/em> All-Metro pick, and a Mr. Baseball finalist as a senior.  Tim is the son of David and Martha Shannon.\n<\/p>\n
