Uncommitted Spotlight: '21 Reed Schaefer

May 11, 2020
Brett Harrison
Nevada Scouting Director

Reed Schaefer is a left handed pitching Diamondback pairs his PBR Verified mid 80's fastball with a 4.8 GPA and an ACT score of 34. The Desert Oasis product has low miles on him, only throwing a few inning as a sophomore on their State Title run, but was poised to have his breakout year during his Junior campaign where he earned a 1.17 ERA in his two starts this season. In a recent bullpen, Schaefer topped out at 88 mph while sitting in the 85-87 mph range, which could be attributed to his improved mechanics and polished delivery that has seen his velocity make jumps as well as his ability to be more consistent in the zone. With his limited prep inning and clean delivery, this is a budding prospect that is currently on a positive trajectory and will be able to continue showcasing his continue progress at the Upperclass Top Prospect Games this summer. #WeGotItCovered

SCHAEFER POUNDS THE ZONE WITH a 84-85 MPH FASTBALL 

--

2024-2025 RISING STARS SHOWCASE

The PBR Nevada Rising Stars Showcase is coming Wednesday, June 24th to Desert Oasis High School. The event is open to Class of 2024 & 2025 Prospects. 

This event will have four main functions. For most participants, this will be their first showcase event - an initial step toward achieving a player’s baseball goals. Part of this event is educational. There will be a lecture about what scouts look for, how to comport themselves, what to expect in the recruiting process, and the overall landscape of playing at the next level. The second function of this event will be for players to create baseline numbers for themselves to improve. The third reason for this event is for PBR to have an in-depth look at the best young players and the future of the state.  The fourth function of the event is to identify players to represent Nevada at the PBR Junior Future Games held at LakePoint in Cartersville, GA.
