Cody Schrier
Mack's spin -
If you read scouting reports on Schrier. you will see the term "above average" used a lot. Above average defense, above average speed, above average bat...
When it comes to baseball, "above average" is better than the opposite.
Recent mock draft s have him as an early second round pick. I have him near the end in that round.

Cody Schrier JSerra Catholic HS, San Juan Capistrano, Calif
SS
Ht: 6-1 | Wt: 195 | B-T: R-R
Commit/Drafted: UCLA
Age At Draft: 18.4
The top hitting prospect on a JSerra Catholic (Calif.) High team that includes a pair of pro pitching prospects—LHP Gage Jump and RHP Luke Jewett—Schrier raised eyebrows this summer with a loud showing at the inaugural Ultimate Baseball Championship. The UCLA commit doesn’t have the most projectable frame, but at 6-foot-1, 195 pounds Schrier has plenty of compact strength that translates to a solid throwing arm and all-fields pop with the bat. Schrier’s swing itself isn’t the prettiest or most fluid, but he has a knack for putting the bat on the ball and has shown an ability to drive pitches with authority to the pull side and the other way. At times he will lunge a bit too much at the ball and put himself into bad hitting positions, but when he stays back things generally work well. While some scouts believe he has the hands and the arm strength to stick at shortstop in college, others believe he profiles best as an offensive-oriented middle-infielder who might wind up moving to second base. Schrier has also spent some time at third. He turned in a plus 60-yard dash time at Perfect Game’s National showcase, running it in 6.63 seconds.

18. St. Louis Cardinals | Chase Petty, RHP, Mainland Reg | (2/47) Cody Schrier, SS, JSerra Catholic
The Cardinals take Chase Petty with the 18th overall pick, hoping to find their next Jordan Hicks. Petty is young for his class with electric arm speed and has already shown the ability to touch triple digits. St. Louis has a serious need for a shortstop in their farm system, with just one true shortstop being ranked within their top 30 prospect rankings (per mlb.com). They fill this need by drafting Cody Schrier in the second round as he possesses an advanced hit tool as well as the defensive skill set to play shortstop at the next level. -Cade Schares
Cervino’s Take: The Cardinals swung big in the 2020 draft with prep players like Jordan Walker, Masyn Winn, and Markevian Hence on day one and they’ll replicate that formula pairing prep arm Chase Petty with prep shortstop Cody Schrier. Petty’s a triple digit high schooler with the best stuff on the prep side in the class while Schrier has been a consummate performer on the circuit. The Cardinals bet on their player development, often correctly doing so, and adding two more exciting high schoolers to the system will be fun.

Bio:
Height: 6-1
Weight: 195 lbs
Hits/Throws: R-R
Hometown: San Clemente, CA

Hailing from the Alma Mater of former Reds first rounder Hunter Greene, Schrier is yet another talented prep shortstop in the deep 2021 class. Hits from a simple line-drive focused right handed swing. He's an above average runner that's posted fringe-plus run times, and shown smooth actions in the field, with the ability to stick at the six. Has been impressive at third base during summer showcase, as well as pumping some pretty impressive batting practice reps.

Cody Schrier, SS, JSerra Catholic HS, San Juan Capistrano, Calif.
Travel Team: Canes National
Commit: UCLA
Performance: 1-for-13, 3 BB, 4 K
Schrier has some similarities to Lile, in the sense that he doesn’t have a super projectable frame, but has plenty of present strength with a muscular, 6-foot-1, 195-pound frame. His statistical performance wasn’t loud at the UBC, but scouts like a lot of the things Schrier does.
He shows power to all fields, and while it might not be the prettiest swing they’ve ever seen, evaluators have some confidence that he’s going to be able to hit because of his track record and given how often he puts the barrel on the ball. Defensively, he has the arm strength and hands that could keep him at shortstop at the next level, where he would most likely profile as an offensive-oriented player there.
Schrier will be seen plenty throughout his high school season, as JSerra Catholic is loaded this year, with fellow top 100 prospects LHP Gage Jump and RHP Luke Jewett.

Cody Schrier is a 2021 SS/IF with a 6-1 195 lb. frame from San Clemente, CA who attends JSerra Catholic. Athletic build with good present strength. 6.63 runner in the sixty, 4.18 home to first. Is very athletic and balanced in the middle of the infield, can play fast and on the run, makes accurate throws from multiple arm slots, has feel for playing defense, arm strength at present is more ideal for second base but would be outstanding at that position. Right handed hitter, hits well against his front side, quick hands create barrel whip and bat speed, swings with intent but not tension

Cody Schrier, SS, JSerra Catholic HS (Calif.) -- Scouts think this UCLA commit and teammate of Gage Jump has a real chance to hit. He has excellent raw power with a projectable frame. He’s a good athlete who can run and has enough arm for short, but he might outgrow the position and move to third.
Cody Schrier – SS: Capable of playing Above-Average Defense all around the infield dirt with leadership qualities that would excite any franchise come Draft Day. Showing off an improved Hit Tool this summer that has seen him make more consistent hard contact with much more balance at the plate as well as increased bat speed and ability to turn on the inside Fastball. Has some troubles with balls on the outer half, but has been showing improvements there as well. Shows some pull side power that grades as a 45 Future grade. Schrier’s talent, leadership, makeup, and ability to play a premium position make him a dream prospect for teams.
Cody Schrier - If you like consistency, Schrier is the bat for you. He has been a consistent performer on the circuit this summer with a powerful swing that has generated loud contact wherever he has gone. Hailing from SoCal powerhouse JSerra Catholic, the UCLA commit did not have the best game, as he struck out once and flew out twice after, but he did showcase well at shortstop with a strong arm and good instincts. He has great bat speed and has good power from the right side that plays well. His lone strikeout did come from Chase Petty’s cement mixer of a slider, but managed to make good contact against Mason Albright’s fastball and Irving Carter’s splitter.

Cody Schrier, SS, Canes National/Mets Scout Team
Schrier did a lot of what scouts wanted to see him do in Fort Myers, walking a lot while still taking damage swings and limiting the swing-and-miss simultaneously. He’s got a chance to play several infield spots and hit for serious righthanded power, a commodity especially in today’s game, though he may end up hitting his way through the PAC-12 at UCLA before pro ball.
Schreier looks good, but doubt the Mets nab him.
