View Draft Report
School: Florida Gulf Coast Drafted/Committed: Never Drafted
Age At Draft: 21.3
Henschel is a 6-foot-3, 190-pound righthander who appeared to be on the verge of a breakout season in 2025 with Florida Gulf Coast until an injury halted his season after 12 scoreless innings. After sitting in the mid 90s in the fall, he opened up the 2025 season with a fastball that averaged 93-95 mph and touched 97. He paired the improved heater with a hard mid-80s slider that generated a 50% miss rate in his first three outings. But Henschel was pulled in the middle of his third outing of the season against Georgia and didn’t return again in his junior spring season. While it’s quite a small sample, Henschel’s jump in stuff makes him a name to flag later on in the draft, even if his health adds yet another complicating factor for teams to work through.
