A fastball with rise has a high percentage of backspin. When thrown up in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher fly ball percentage. Rise+ of 100 is MLB average
Uncommitted, currently ranked No. 26 in the state’s junior class. Ticked up velocity over the winter which carried over into games, while maintaining the same feel for the zone. Currently standing at a strong 6-foot-1, 197 pound frame. The left-hander is a fluid mover through the delivery flashing a three pitch mix from a lower slot, the arm action stands out working uninterrupted and whippy through release. Schuh worked his fastball up to 87 mph in this outing sitting 84-87 mph throughout two clean innings on the mound where he struck out four batters. Schuh would go to a sweepy breaking ball that sat 76-79 mph that came at hitters from a tougher angle and played in the zone, earning multiple swings and misses. Rounding off his arsenal, Schuh flashed a changeup at 79 mph giving the left-hander a three pitch mix.

+ LHP Paxton Schuh (Kaukana, 2026) measured in a tapered 6-foot-1, 198 pounds with just an 11.9% body-fat percentage and just over 100 pounds of skeletal muscle mass. Presenting a rocker step delivery with a clean low 3/4s arm slot, the left-hander would sport both an upper-80s four-seam fastball and mid-80s sinker with life out of the hand on the former and late running action on the latter. The Kaukauna product would also show a mid-70s slider with tight action and an upper-70s-low-80s changeup.

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.
