'26 INF Zach Scharnke (Lowell) rounds out this group. Stocky with some athleticism in a 6-foot, 200 pound frame, Scharnke setup in a tall, narrow stance with a smooth tip to trigger and his fast hands deliver an on-plane barrel with strength. His exits reached over 96 mph. On the dirt, Scharnke has the feet and arm to man all three infield spots at the high school level, with body/athleticsm trends like determining his best future position.
