Austin Schuster: LHP/1B, (2021) Fairfield, OH. 6-foot-3, 220-pound solid frame. On the mound, showing consistent arm speed he used a ¾ arm angle with a compact arm action. Slow-tempo type pitcher who uses some effort. Showed an athletic balance point. Threw his fastball 77-78 mph; has arm side control and running action. Shows gradual action on his 1/7 curveball (60-62). Has fading action and arm side command on his changeup (66-68).
1/26/19 Pitching
Body Type: 6-foot-3 180-pound prospect with a projectable frame.
Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Slow tempo delivery is compact and efficient. Shows balance through the stride. Uses a long arm action working through a ¾ slot.
Fastball: 64-67 mph fastball is mostly straight showing occasional cutting action.
Curveball: 54-59 mph curveball works on a 1/7 tilt. Pitch has tumbling action with gradual break.
Changeup: N/A
Pitchability: Showed feel for both offerings. Doesn’t currently have a plus pitch, curveball is playable and will get better as he tightens up the spin.
1/26/19
Body Type: 6-foot-3 180-pound prospect with a projectable frame.
Swing Mechanics: Starts in a medium set up with hands somewhat high near the ear. Really casts his barrel around the zone and shows minimal load or weight transfer during his swing. Remains pretty balanced throughout.
Hit: Solid ability to control the barrel.
Power: 65 mph exit velocity.
Offensive Projection: Present raw physical tools and skills would make him project mostly as a line drive single kind of guy. Has a lot of physically projection remaining that could affect this.
Run: 5.28 home to 1st.
Throw: 64 mph throw across the diamond.
Field: Average footwork and feel around the bag at 1B. A little tentative with the glove.
Defensive Projection: Presently projects as a 1B only type of guy at the next level.
