Kelly Brian Shoppach (pronounced SHOP-ick) (born April 29, 1980 in Fort Worth, Texas) is a Major League Baseball catcher for the Cleveland Indians. Nicknamed Shop, Shoppach was traded to the Indians from the Boston Red Sox organization on January 28, 2006, as part of the same deal that saw outfielder Coco Crisp sent to Boston and highly regarded prospect Andy Marté sent to Cleveland.
