Schoolcraft owned a 10-1 record on the mound along with a 0.39 ERA and 146 strikeouts in 71.2 innings through 32 games. He fired four shutouts, including a no-hitter, and opposing batters hit only a .102 against him as he compiled a 0.586 WHIP. At the plate, he hit .506 entering the state championship game to go with 14 doubles, seven home runs, 30 RBI and 29 runs scored. He posted a .609 OBP and an OPS of 1.517.
