Brayden Schwitz, a 6-foot-1, 185-pound SS/OF from LaVille Jr-Sr (IN), is a toolsy athlete with upside. Offensively, he hits from a short toe tap load with a twitchy, downhill swing, and shows some strength behind the barrel, producing a 95 mph max exit velocity and 328’ peak distance. Defensively, Schwitz possesses plus arm strength (INF: 82 mph / OF: 90 mph), and it's his best tool, suggesting intrigue as a future arm on the mound. There's still polish to come, but with his twitch and tools, he's a follow in the class and could blossom on the mound w further development there.
