Reed Schaefer is a left handed pitching Diamondback pairs his PBR Verified mid 80's fastball with a 4.8 GPA and an ACT score of 34. The Desert Oasis product has low miles on him, only throwing a few inning as a sophomore on their State Title run, but was poised to have his breakout year during his Junior campaign where he earned a 1.17 ERA in his two starts this season. In a recent bullpen, Schaefer topped out at 88 mph while sitting in the 85-87 mph range, which could be attributed to his improved mechanics and polished delivery that has seen his velocity make jumps as well as his ability to be more consistent in the zone. With his limited prep inning and clean delivery, this is a budding prospect that is currently on a positive trajectory and will be able to continue showcasing his continue progress at the Upperclass Top Prospect Games this summer. #WeGotItCovered
