Davis Schneider

Schneider bears an uncanny resemblance to the character of the same last name from the 70's sitcom One Day At a Time. This Schneider came out of the gate hot with 7 homers, 25 runs, and 29 RBIs through the first two months of the season as the Jays' offense was struggling to scrape together rallies. The league started figuring him out early in the summer and Schneider never got out of that hole as he hit .159/.236/.274 over the final 280 plate appearances Toronto continued to give him as he hit 7 homers, scored 24 times, and drove in 19 from June 1st until the end of the season. Scheinder hit below .200 against all pitch types and xBA validated those struggles because the league found the holes in his swing and attacked them with authority. He was in the bottom 15th percentile for swing and miss and bottom 5th percentile for strikeout rate, which is not a great mixture for someone not providing enough offense. Perhaps his 2023 time in Triple-A gave him delusions of granseur because he has since turned into a three true outcome player: a walk, a strikeout, or an out. He is limited defensively as well, and is not even a clean platoon fit becasue he has struggled against lefties. Too long; didn't read: pass. Read Past Outlooks
