Background
Shirai McElroy is a chemist and textile engineer, and specializes in safety measures related to handling hazardous metaphysical concepts. McElroy was born in raised in Halifax, Canada. She discovered how to make fabric as moist as emotionally possible, gaining the attention of the Moist Talkers. She was signed on to design uniforms for the team, but a paperwork mishap lead to her being drafted into the team's shadows, and her uniform designs were never put into use.
Trade to the Mechanics
McElroy was instrumental in mounting the rescue mission that retrieved PolkaDot Patterson from the Core. After it was discovered that Patterson was not in any danger, and was in fact reportedly "vibing" with the newly descended team, McElroy grew interested in the culture of the Mechanics and made the decision to stay, trading spots with Patterson on the team's rotation.
While not pitching, McElroy creates experimental fashion pieces alongside continuing her work with safety protection gear. McElroy has recently partnered with fellow Mechanic Jasper Ji-Eun to expand the scope of their line of affordable vogmasks.
McElroy has a noted distaste for Baltimore Crabs pitcher Jacoby Podcast. When asked the origin of this feud, McElroy responded: "I don't like podcasts. I have never heard a podcast. Everyone keeps asking me when I am going to be on Jacoby Podcast's podcast and I am sick to death of it"
