2021 Mid-Atlantic Prospect Showcase
Gavin Schrader is a 2022 OF/LHP with a 6-3 180 lb. frame from Batavia, NY who attends Notre Dame. Large, athletic frame with broad shoulders and long limbs, present strength with some room to fill throughout moving forward. Ran a 6.96 60-yard dash. Primary outfielder, sound footwork on the approach to the ball, fields the ball to side, shuffle step moving into release, can continue to generate additional momentum into release, over-the-top release point with arm strength and carry on throws with accuracy to the intended base. Also pitched, works exclusively out of the stretch on the mound, loose and easy arm action working to a high three-quarters release point. Fastball topped out at 87 mph and showed nice riding life through the zone, will continue to develop a consistent release point; mixed a hard, late biting slider for swings and misses up to 76 mph. Left-handed hitter, begins with an even stance and a lower hand set at the plate, utilizes a toe tap trigger for timing. Swings with intent and looks to impact the ball at point of contact, did just that in BP with 4 home runs. Strength to hands, incorporates lower half well and creates torque through his hips with consistent jump off of the barrel. Excellent student. Named to Atlantic Top Prospect List. Verbal commitment to Niagara.
