Jayson Schroeder is a six-foot-two, 196 lb. right-handed reliever from Kirkland, WA. Born on November 14, 1999, he was Houston’s second round pick in 2018 out of high school with the 66th overall pick. That spot in the draft has produced 23 major league players, led by Chase Headley (25.9 WAR). Schroeder signed for a $1.2 million bonus.
Schroeder ranked number 19 on the MLB Pipeline Houston prospect list in 2019:
Schroeder’s fastball and curveball both have the potential to become plus pitches. He works at 91-95 mph and reaches 97 mph with heavy sink on his heater, and he shows advanced feel for spinning his mid-70s curve.
