View Draft Report
Many scouts considered Schaffer a good senior sign last year, and he wound up coming back to Tulane and putting up almost identical numbers. He's proven he can hit with the BBCOR bats, slugging .552 and .551 the last two seasons. He's a below-average athlete and receiver with solid arm strength who threw out 32 percent of baserunners this spring. Schaffer's defensive shortcomings could force a move to first base, but he may hit enough to make up for his glove.
