Ethan
Bauerschmidt

Bauerschmidt came away an obvious winner from Sunday’s event on both sides of the ball. On the mound, the right-hander sat right at 88-90 mph throughout the duration of his ‘pen with finish and life through the zone (16.2” avg. IVB; T19.2” IVB). His slider looks to be a potential out-pitch, spinning routinely over 2,500 RPM at 73-75 mph with depth and feel for the zone. His final offering was a slight running changeup thrown with fastball intent, 80-82 mph. At the plate, the right-handed hitter stays short to the ball with quick hands and feel for the barrel - working the ball to the whole field with easy jump off the bat (T92.6 mph EV; 336’ max distance). His defensive round was also one to make note of, moving well to both sides of his glove to pair with athletic actions and soft hands. His aforementioned arm-strength easily translates over to the infield, reaching up to 91 mph with above-average arm-speed and accurate throws. Also a 7.03 runner in the 60.

He ran a 7.14 at the start of the day, and his foot speed and athleticism translated seamlessly onto the infield, where he showcased efficient defensive actions and throws that flashed carry across for his age. A right-handed hitter, Bauerschmidt has a short swing that created some violence at impact, especially for his thin build that only projects to connect for more authoritative contact as he gains strength.

5-foot-11, 145 pounds; highly projectable frame, long levers, athleticism. Right-handed hitter, went 7-for-18 on the weekend with four doubles during the PBR at The Rock Championships. Swing especially projects; tall/balanced base, hands set low, quiet/calm pre-pitch, open stance. Soft, smooth load, strides to even, hangs to sync timing, quiet and simple swing. Short, easy path to the zone, barrel stays long through it; whippy swing with upside as he adds muscle.
