Strong and physical at 6-foot-2, 209 pounds, RHP Paxson Schnieders (Mehlville, 2026) made a strong impression on the mound during Tuesday’s gameplay. The incoming senior ran his fastball up to 88.5 mph, sitting consistently in the 85–88 mph range. Working from a low ¾ arm slot, his fastball played with noticeable ride through the top of the zone, creating added deception and generating swings and misses up in the zone. Schnieders worked backwards effectively throughout his outing, consistently landing a sharp 75–77 mph slider with over 2,700 RPM for strikes, along with an 80–82 mph changeup that helped him miss barrels and keep hitters off balance.
