RHP/OF Chase Schrader (Columbia, IL, 2023) was one of the lone seniors in attendance, and the 6-foot-1, 185-pound uncommitted athlete from southern Illinois flashed intrigue at the plate during Monday’s event. Schrader generated some of the day’s highest bat (81.2 mph) and hand (25.1 mph) speed metrics, while also effectively staying on plane (86%) throughout his round of BP. Schrader worked on top of the baseball from a flat right-handed swing, recording a peak exit velocity of 93.9 mph, averaging 85.6 mph per barrel.
