Midwest Future Games Profile: Jacob Schlesener from Logan-Rogersville



Midwest Future Game 2013 SLIDE

Jacob Schlesener, LHP/OF, Logan-Rogersville:
On the mound, the lanky 6-foot-2, 170-pound Schlesener displays a loose, quick arm with all three pitches around the strike zone.

His fastball was thrown in the 81-83 mph range, we have seen him throw it harder and have no doubt that he should be and will be consistently in the mid-80s. Schlesener showed command of his fastball throwing it on both sides of the plate and keeping it down in the zone. His breaking ball had good, tight spin and late movement, creating quite a few swings and misses. His change up was thrown in the 74-75 mph range with some depth and arm side run.

Schlesener is one of the most projectable players in the Class of 2015 and we expect him to emerge as one of the top pitchers and see a spike in velocity over the next few years.
