Career

He made his debut for the Bandits on 10 November 2010 against the Perth Heat as a defensive substitute for catcher Joel Naughton. He had his first at-bat the next day, playing catcher and going 3/4 against the Heat. Despite initially being named as an outfielder in the squad, he didn't take the outfield all season. A season-ending injury to starting catcher Naughton forced Watson to share the catching duties with rookies Mitch Nilsson and Ryan Battaglia as well as occasionally playing third base.

Shayne is employed as a development officer for Baseball Queensland and plays for the Windsor Royals in the Greater Brisbane League.

In 2011, he was dropped from the active roster, but named as one of the coaches for the Bandits.

gollark: Oh, I sort of did that. My resume uses a port of the weird NSO Group vulnerability to run a simulated CPU within the PDF with access to arbitrary memory, so it reads the contents of the computer it's on and uses machine learning™ to optimize its contents for whoever is looking at it.
gollark: Oh, `window[id]`, not *exactly*.
gollark: As in, exactly that.
gollark: Wait, isn't that actually a feature?
