Shifflett attended but did not play baseball at Pleasant Hill High School in Missouri, instead playing American Legion Baseball. He began his college baseball career at Longview Community College before transferring as a third baseman to Central Missouri. He converted to pitching at Central Missouri but, after one year, could not afford to attend the school and transferred back to Longview. After attending a tryout camp, he accepted an offer to play at Emporia State. In the summer of 1989, he signed with the Kansas City Royals and began a professional baseball career.[1]
