Uncommitted Spotlight: 2021 LHP Reed Schaefer

November 6, 2019
Brett Harrison
Nevada Scouting Director

Reed Schaefer, ’21, is a left-handed pitcher with a projectable 6’3 frame and a tall-tilt, high 3/4 delivery helping him maintain downhill action on his pitches. At the All State Games in August, Schaefer showed flashes of above average stuff with each of his three pitches. His fastball sat in the low to mid 80’s topping out at 85 with arm side fade and good carry through the zone. His secondary pitches include an 11/5 curveball the has shown bite, ranging from 64-69 and a deceptive changeup that he has a great feel for sitting at 70-72, coming out of the same slot as his fastball with similar to slightly more action than his fastball just with more sink. He projects to increase his velo as he continues to do develop strength in his lower half. Schaefer, a 4.6 GPA student, will play a key role in the reigning State Champion, Desert Oasis, pitching staff and is a high ceiling prospect to keep an eye on as he enters his junior season.

Scouting Report

8/18/19

 

6-foot-3 175. Reed has a definite projectable body with a high waist and long levers that will put him in the prospect category for 2021 being that he is left-handed. Reed showcased 3 pitches, FB, CB, CH, all showing plus at times. Reed did struggle with strike zone consistency and will have to improve his control if he wants to standout in the 2021 class. Reed showed athleticism as he moved well through his delivery displaying solid mechanics that forecast him to be a potential left-handed power pitcher. He has a high 3/4 arm slot with his FB ranging 81-85 with good carrying spin. His arm slot also allows him to throw a CB, 64-69, with good spin as well with 11/5 break. Reed also flashed some changeups with plus feel, 70-72, with good deception off his FB. The future is bright for Reed Schaeffer and will be a fun one to watch develop the next couple years.
