Top-10 Profiles of 2023: No. 7 Quinn Schambow
December 21, 2023
Coming in at No. 7 for the most-viewed profiles of 2023 is Oklahoma State commit, C/RHP Quinn Schambow (Libertyville, 2025). Schambow had an impressive 2023 campaign, which included a trip to LakePoint where he competed for Team Illinois at the 2023 PBR Future Games. His stellar summer launched him into the top of the state’s 2025 class, currently sitting at No. 3 in Illinois.
Well-built with a 6-foot, 190-pound frame, Schambow has shown real two-way potential. He has arguably one of the best arms in the class with his best bullet down to second being recorded at 84 mph with a 1.86 pop time. Schambow is a quality right-handed hitter as well, boasting a simple operation with controlled aggression and above-average bat-to-ball skills. On the mound, we’ve seen his fastball up to 90 mph, and he pairs it with a true slider that spins upwards of 2600 RPM.
Schambow is a name that our staff is excited to follow throughout the rest of his prep career and beyond.
Scouting Report
C/RHP Quinn Schambow (Libertyville, 2025) proved to be one of the top prospects and performers on Team Illinois from the Future Games, impressing on both sides of the ball. Positionally, Schambow is a premier defender behind the dish with one of the strongest arms in the state, regardless of class. He led the entire Future Games in peak throwing velocity at Wednesday’s workout (84 mph) and popped a 1.86 on his quickest bullet, which was also among the event’s leaders. His arm translated to the gameplay portion effortlessly, as Schambow back picked a runner at first base and gunned a would-be base stealer at second in the same inning against Team Midwest in game three. At the plate, Schambow finished 5-for-6 with three hits in game one, two total doubles, and he drew four walks, too. After all that, Schambow toed the rubber on the final day and was electric, punching out a pair with an upper-80s fastball, touching 90 mph, while spinning a true swing-and-miss mid-70s slider that reached upwards of 2600 RPM. Schambow was an all-around winner from the event that should garner plenty of interest in the coming weeks.
