RHP Jake Shumaker (Lyons Township) was yet another member of the 2024 class that looked to have promise on the mound. With a long-limbed 6-foot-2, 150-pound frame, Shumaker has plenty of room to add additional strength that should help continue to elevate his fastball velocity, especially paired with his clean arm. His delivery works with a fluid pace, using a pre-load in his lower-half to gain momentum down the mound. His fastball reached up to 82 mph, sitting primarily 79-80 mph with heavy arm-side life. Schumaker went to a sharp 11/5 breaking ball at 65-66 mph to pair off his fastball, thrown for strikes with feel for the zone. He then went to a cutter in the 69-70 range, acting more like a slider with tight 10/4 shape, but still a solid change-of-pace offering that should continue to improve with added arm-speed. He rounded out his arsenal with a 69-71 mph changeup, flashing arm-side life at times.
