Work ethic is the name of Shane Bieber’s game. After walking on to the UC Santa Barbara team in 2014, he made himself into the Friday night ace, a second-team All-American, and a fourth-round pick by Cleveland in the 2016 draft. It took him all of two years to ascend through the Cleveland system and debut with the big league club, and then another two years to claim his first Cy Young.
Coming up on just 26 years old, what Bieber has yet to accomplish in his career is remarkable to consider. With his work ethic, there are seemingly no limits to his potential.
