Jack Schmahl, Oakland High School (TN), 2028 Positional Profile: LHP/1B Body: 5-8, 145-pounds. Delivery: Controlled and repeatable delivery that carries momentum well down the mound. Easy leg lift that maintains neutral weight distributed in quiet actions that should hold more velocity in the future. Arm Action: LH. Connected arm path that gets out going back to regain forward as he turns into his release with a 3/4 arm slot. FB: T77, 74-76 mph. Hoppy fastball that carries a lot of life. Also carries spin that makes the pitch play higher. Will play best getting ahead up and down in the zone. T2261, 2126 average rpm. CB: 62-64 mph. Heacy spin on offering that will allow pitch to break more as he matures. Should already offer swing and miss and will just need to continue to develope velocity on offering. Solid shape and offering already that should have advanced potential down the line. T2282, 2213 average rpm. CH: 66-67 mph. Feel for throwing strikes with offering with good shape already. Kills spin and carries devent arm-side run. Will need to continue to develop and kill carry. T1584, 1481 average rpm.
