2021 1st Bowman Draft Spencer Schwellenbach #BD-44 Rookie Braves

Description: Track Record: Schwellenbach was one of the best two-way prospects in the 2021 draft class and ranked as the No. 51 overall prospect after hitting .284/.403/.459 and playing shortstop for Nebraska. He also showed 99 mph velocity as a reliever. The Braves' scouting staff loved his upside potential as a two-way player and his phenomenal pure arm talent, with relatively little experience pitching, and signed him for $1 million. Scouting Report: Schwellenbach needed Tommy John surgery after the 2021 draft and was still in the recovery process. He hasn't pitched yet in pro ball, leaving scouts to look back on what he did in college and hope he returns as the same player. With Nebraska, Schwellenbach posted a 0.57 ERA over 31.2 innings out of the bullpen and threw a three-pitch mix. He sat 94-95 mph with a fastball that touched 98-99. He had good feel for a low-80s slider and low-80s changeup as well. Despite being a primary shortstop at the time, Schwellenbach threw all three pitches for strikes 67-68% of the time and scouts viewed each as potentially above-average--while Braves officials think they could be plus. Atlanta initially planned to stretch Schwellenbach out as a starter, where they believe his athleticism, easy operation and three-pitch mix could serve him nicely. There's no reason to think that course has changed just yet. The Future: Atlanta expects Swchellenbach to be ready for spring training in 2023, where he'll look to make up for lost time and remove some of the uncertainty from his profile. - Baseball America
