In 97 games, Shackelford hit .210/.290/.438 with 22 home runs and 69 RBI.[4] He spent the majority of the 2022 season with the Double–A Altoona Curve, also playing in four games for the Triple–A Indianapolis Indians. In 110 games for Altoona, Shackelford posted a .239/.315/.499 batting line with career–highs in home runs (26), RBI (79), and stolen bases (11).[5]
Shackelford returned to Indianapolis in 2023, playing in 113 contests and hitting .223/.344/.406 with 14 home runs and 52 RBI.[6] He began the 2024 season back with Indianapolis, batting .216/.263/.409 with four home runs and 14 RBI in 23 appearances.
