High School: DelbartonState: NJ

Height: 6-0Weight: 185lbs
- Bat/Throw: R/R
Statistics
Scouting Report
Quick Hit: Strong broad shouldered frame at 6-feet 185-pounds. Works in the 85-87 range and offers two plus breaking balls - a 12/6 CB and a harder, later breaking slider for swings-and-misses.
First Glimpse: Rising Rebels Scout Day workout in 2019
Breakout Performance: 2019 Future Games
The Future: Schroeder possesses an innate ability to control the tempo of the game. A strike-thrower in every sense, Schroeder's ability to throw four pitches in the zone makes it tough on hitters. A big spring/summer awaits the Delbarton ace, filling big shoes with the departure of Jack Leiter. No doubt that he will rise to the occasion.
Scouting Report
Quick Hit: Wiry athletic frame with lightning-quick arm from a true-3/4 slot. Up to 94 mph with fastball with heavy armside sink and run. SL is wipeout, up to 83 with late, 11/5 downer action
First Glimpse: November 2018 at a South Jersey event. Was 84-86.
Breakout Performance: 2019 Future Games Trials & 2019 Future Games
The Future: The Florida commit possesses elite stuff. His arsenal should promote him to a high level draft prospect come 2021.
