Davis Schneider

A 28th-round pick, Schneider wasn't really on the prospect or fantasy radar coming into the 2023 season. He earned a look with the Blue Jays in August, though, after posting a .969 OPS with 21 home runs over 87 contests with Triple-A Buffalo. The mustachioed infielder hit the ground running with the big club, homering in his first at-bat as part of an absurd 1.315 OPS with eight long balls in his first 25 major-league games. A 2-for-35 finish pulled his numbers down, but Schneider still had an OPS over 1.000 during his first taste of big-league action. A 17.8 percent barrel rate and 14.9 percent walk rate were very encouraging, but a 30.5 percent strikeout rate and 67.8 percent zone contact rate were not. Which numbers are closer to a real representation of what Schneider is? The answer probably lies somewhere in between, and Schneider isn't guaranteed regular playing time as things currently stand.
