Schefers, 5-foot-11, 155 pound athletic frame. He showcased advanced skills at the plate, behind the plate, and on the mound. The right-handed hitter begins with a quick up and down load. His bat path is very much down through the baseball and gets strong line drive contact to the middle of the field. He showcased good barrel feel and started to drive the ball in the gaps. With adjusted bat path Schefers would show above average power. Off of the tee Schefers showed an exit velocity of 74mph and ran a 7.97 60-yard dash. Behind the plate shows his athleticism when blocking. He has a low set up and quiet glove work. His throws to second base were accurate with a short arm action, throwing 69mph, and a pop time range of 2.27-2.32 . On the mound the right-handed pitcher begins with a sweeping leg kick and an easy 3/4 arm action. Schefers sat 69-71 with some sink and run to the arm side. Mixed with a big sweeping 10/4 curveball at 53-56 mph. Also, added a 60-63 mph changeup that had some sink.
