RHP Austin Schooley (Franklin 2025) came away as a winner on Saturday after his work on the mound. The 5-foot-11, 175 pound framed prospect repeats a rhythmic delivery with crossfire deception. His fastball was thrown at 82-87 mph with 2300+ RPMs and 21.4 inches of induced vertical break on the pitch which are well-above average metrics for the fastball. He also drives his fastball downhill and is able to get it to spots in the zone. His deceptive fastball sets up a big breaking 11/5 curveball that the right hander can land in the zone and get below the zone for chase. His third pitch is his changeup which is thrown with fastball intent and showcases fading action as he kills spin on the offering.
