Shreve attended Bonanza High School in Las Vegas, Nevada. In his senior year, Shreve was named to the Nevada All-State Second team for baseball.[1] He enrolled at the College of Southern Nevada, where he played college baseball.[2]

Atlanta Braves

[edit]

The Atlanta Braves selected Shreve in the 11th round of the 2010 Major League Baseball Draft.[3] He made his professional debut with the Danville Braves of the Rookie-level Appalachian League that year, pitching to a 2–0 win–loss record and a 2.25 earned run average (ERA). In 2011, Shreve pitched for the Rome Braves of the Single–A South Atlantic League, finishing the season with a 5–6 win–loss record and a 3.86 ERA.

Shreve began the 2012 season with the Lynchburg Hillcats of the High–A Carolina League, where he had a 4–4 win–loss record and a 2.15 ERA, before receiving a promotion to the Mississippi Braves of the Double–A Southern League, where he had a 2–1 record and a 3.93 ERA. Shreve split the 2013 season with Mississippi and Lynchburg, pitching to a 3–1 record and a 4.43 ERA in Mississippi and a 0–1 record and a 2.75 ERA with Lynchburg.[4]

During spring training in 2014, Shreve altered his approach to increase his pitching velocity.[5] He had a 3–2 with seven saves and a 2.48 ERA. The Braves promoted Shreve to the major leagues for the first time on July 19, 2014, to replace Luis Avilán.[4][6] The Braves demoted Shreve to the Gwinnett Braves of the Triple–A International League on August 1.[7] He made 15 appearances for the Braves in 2014 accumulating a 0.73 ERA.
