Schuh emerged as a left-handed arm to follow in Wisconsin's rising junior class this past weekend, presenting a projectable frame with impressive stuff on the mound. The fastball would sit in the 82-84 mph range and was paired with a slider in the low-70s. Coming from a low 3/4s arm slot with deceptive actions, Schuh did a great job of keeping hitters off balance.
