Houston Astros Prospect Profile: Jason Schiavone
Jason Schiavone – C
HT/WT: 6’1”/200 | Bat/Throw: R/R | School: James Madison| DOB: 03/19/03
Overview:
The Astros selected Schiavone in the 11th round of the 2024 draft. After a down year in Fayetteville, he has been on an absolute tear this season batting .277 with a minor league leading 18 home runs. He also earned a promotion to Double-A to start the season and homered in his first game. Schiavone is an intersting hitter as he provides elite power, good plate discipline, but also some swing and miss. On top of the 18 home runs, he had drawn 42 walks in 38 games, though he has 54 strikeouts. The power is legit though and he has posted some elite exit velocities. He’s also thrown out 28% of base stealers and is a good athlete behind the plate.
Baseball America had the following to say about Schiavone: “A physical player with sneaky athleticism, Schiavone has found a way to tap into his plus-plus power in games and it’s significantly raised his profile. Schiavone has a swing geared to elevate and celebrate but it does come with serious swing and miss issues. Schiavone mitigates some of his whiff with selective swing decisions, rarely swinging on pitches outside the zone, but it comes with passivity within the zone. Schiavone has 80 grade raw power posting some of the best exit velocity data in the minors. ”
