LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2005 National Showcase
Chris Schaeffer is a 2006 catcher from John Carroll HS in Port St. Lucie, FL, with a 6'0", 185 lb. frame. He has good present strength and flexability and nice quickness in his shifting and release on defense. He did a very nice job of handling pitchers at the National and receives the ball smoothly and easily. Schaeffer threw 77 mph in drills with a best pop time of 1.92. He ran the 60 in a quick 7.24 for a catcher. At the plate, Schaeffer hits from a spread stance with a short, quick swing. He has good quickness and strength in his hands and hits the ball hard out in front. Schaeffer showed some pop to the opposite field and should be a consitent contributor with the bat because of his short, crisp path to the ball. No single tool stands out for Schaeffer but he does everything well on the field, shows leadership ability and knows how to play the game. Coaches at the next level will enjoy having him on their team. Schaeffer is also a good student.
