Cade Schuetter '25 Recruiting Profile

My parents adopted me from a Russian orphanage just before my first birthday.  Due to severe ear infections, I was essentially deaf and left in my crib for 23 of 24 hours.  This laid the foundation for my young life in which I would learn the true value of love, commitment, hard work and never paying attention to the limits that people place on you.  

One thing that separates me from other catchers is my speed.  I was in the leadoff spot all summer for both the US Elite Regional and National Team.  I love finding any way possible to get on base, put pressure on the other team, stealing bases, and finding a way to score.  I take extreme pride in the defensive part of the game.  I focus intently on my receiving, blocking, throwing and communication/relationship with my pitchers.

I love baseball!  I love playing, competing, being challenged and truly enjoy every minute I spend with my teammates and friends.  People talk about grinding and putting work in.  It never feels that way to me - I just love it, every bit of it!  I want to compete at the highest level in college and look forward to all of the challenges!!
