Uncommitted. Currently ranked No. 90 in Illinois’ class of 2025. The right-handed pitcher is listed at 6-foot-4, 175-pounds and came into relief during the game, striking out two over 1.2 innings. Working from the stretch only, gets downhill on a long stride towards the plate and finishes falling off to first. Each pitch came from a loose, easy arm action and from a 3/4 slot. Schaffner went at the opposing hitters with a fastball, curveball and changeup repertoire. A mostly four seam type fastball, came out firm from the hand at 87-89 mph. Backing the fastball was mainly the curveball with an 11/5 plane coming in at 68-70 mph. The changeup played with late and hard sinking action, thrown mostly to the arm-side at 79-81 mph.
RHP Carter Schaffner (Yorkville, 2025) is a live armed right-hander who featured some of the highest upside of the entire event. Listed at a lean 6-foot-4, 175-pounds, Schaffner reached marks of 88.6 mph with his electric fastball that played with over 16.6’ of IVB at its max and also over 17’ of HM, too. He also featured a slider with tight horizontal movement that was thrown with intent as well. Schaffner’s a ceiling arm in the state’s 2025 class that’s just starting to scratch his surface on the hill.
Positional Profile: RHP/1B
Body: 6-4, 175-pounds.
Delivery: Methodical, high leg lift, aggressive downhill, open footstrike with finish towards first base.
Arm Action: RH. Loose, whippy. 3/4 slot.
FB: T88, 83-87 mph. Run to the arm-side with life. T2593, 2210 average rpm.
SL: 71-74 mph. Tight spinner. Thrown with intent. T2304, 2234 average rpm.
RHP Carter Schaffner (Yorkville) popped up as a live-armed sophomore to follow closely moving forward. Schaffner has a loose, quick, projectable arm, paired with a 6-foot-4, 170-pound, projectable, wide-shouldered frame that has plenty of room for continued physical development. The fastball, which topped at 88.6 mph (led the event) jumps out of the hand with late carry and life through the zone. He flashed a developing 68-72 mph curveball with 2197 average rpm and a 74-78 mph changeup that flashed above-average horizontal movement and sink. Schaffner has all kinds of ceiling and should continue to ascend as he polishes his overall repertoire.
Positional Profile: RHP/1B
Body: 6-4, 170-pounds. Projectable, high waisted frame.
Delivery: High leg lift with coil, clean, repeatable actions, drop and drive delivery on-line with plate.
Arm Action: RH. Long, loose, clean arm action, 3/4 slot.
FB: T89, 85-88 mph. Easy out of the hand with life, mostly straight with feel. T2332, 2266 average rpm.
CB: 68-72 mph. Tight spin, horizontal action, throws for strikes. T2339, 2197 average rpm.
CH: 74-78 mph. Arm-side run, feel for pitch. T1816, 1692 average rpm.
