Schaefer Motschenbacher, Orange Lutheran (CA), 2029 Positional Profile: 3B/SS Body: 5-8, 148-pounds. Hit: RHH. Sets up with a wide, upright stance. Hands sit at shoulder level, with a lower back elbow, and the barrel set vertically. Displays a small bat waggle before initiating the load with a subtle weight shift to the back side as the back elbow raises and the hands drift back slightly. Utilizes a toe tap for timing before a small, controlled stride forward. Back knee fires at foot strike, creating some separation. Hands work explosively through the zone, showcasing great bat speed. Uphill bat path that promotes consistent lift and carry, with strong power potential. Arm: RH. INF-75 mph. Lengthy arm path out of the glove with a slightly delayed transfer, working from a low 3/4 release. Shows some natural arm-side run and can get to release a touch late at times. Has room to add arm strength as the frame fills out. Accuracy will improve from subtle refinements in the upper half. Defense: Keeps his lower half active throughout the play, using compact, controlled footwork as he works toward the ball. Shows solid initial burst and decent lateral range, paired with clean glove work and minimal wasted movement. Profiles as a 3B with the potential to play up the middle with continued physical development.
