Prospects To Know: Underclass World Series


Shooter Hunt
National Crosschecker

A full weekend of jam-packed action filled Lakepoint for the inaugural PBR Underclass World Series. National Crosschecker, Shooter Hunt, was in attendance to check out some of the top underclassmen in the country including multiple players who burst onto the scene with breakout performances. Below are 15 players that caught his eye as uncommitted players that are sure to be heard from even more in the future, and also sure to pique the interests of college coaches moving forward.

 

TJ Schuyler C / RHP / Antioch Community, IL / 2023

Schuyler was one of the “big winners” of the tournament, and cemented himself as a player to know in the 2023 class moving forward. Possessing a highly projectable, sturdy, 6-foot-1, 165-pound frame with athleticism, he is sure to have college coaches monitoring his progress in the near future. He first shined behind the plate, exhibiting natural feel for the position including loose hips and soft hands that allow him to receive well along with a strong arm that plays up thanks to smooth footwork. He threw out multiple runners, and looked the part the entire weekend. His defense alone makes him a player to follow, but his ability with the bat will likely boost him even more in the future. An easy rhythm from the right side allows the hands to separate back from the ear in conjunction with a leg kick before quickly working the barrel through the zone on a flat path. His ability to cover the entire plate with firm contact to all fields stood out, including multiple hits as well as hard outs. The frame is sure to pack on substantial strength moving forward, and as it does, I suspect there will be a boost in the power department. Interesting to note, Schuyler also moved well at third base, and his overall athleticism should provide for quicker advancements as he matures.
