With their 2nd Round pick of the draft, #66 pick overall, the Astros selected 6'2" 205lb RHP Jayson Schroeder out of Juanita High School in Kirkland, Washington. The slot value for the 2-66 pick is $965,300. He has committed to the University of Washington.
In his senior season with Juanita, Schroeder threw 60.1IP, 29H/13ER, 110K:19BB.
*Baseball America listed Schroeder as their #1 prospect in the Northwest. BA:
This spring, Schroeder has picked up right where he left off, regularly sitting 92-93mph with a fastball that includes both power and sink. He has also shown a second breaking ball this spring in a slider, and while both of his secondary offerings are currently fringe-average, many scouts think both could turn into plus pitches down the line thanks to his arm speed and feel for spin.
