Trent Schryser
Starting Pitcher | Yellowknife Bluenotes
Pitching
He has the ability to coax groundballs, which helps him succeed. Schryser can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball is just average, and therefore he relies heavily on placing it in different parts of the strike zone or setting it up with his curveball. Schryser also has a decent changeup. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting
Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Schryser is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Schryser has some pop in his swing.
2025 Outlook
The Yellowknife Bluenotes were smart, they locked Schryser up to a long term contract. There's no question in anyone's mind he's a franchise player. I don't say this often, but I'll say it for Schryser: he's one of the highest rated pitchers on my scouting sheet.
