Taking advantage of opportunity
3BColorado Rockies
September 27, 2024
Schunk went 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored Thursday against the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Schunk has started three straight games at second base with Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) sidelined and has taken advantage by collecting multiple hits in each contest. Overall, he's gone 6-for-10 with four runs scored and four RBI. Schunk hasn't gotten regular playing time since being promoted to the majors June 29, but he could make a case for playing time in 2025 with a continued strong finish and a good showing in spring training.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
Schunk was the top Rockies hitting prospect at the alternate training site and in the fall instructional league. He is well built at 6-foot-2, 205 pounds, and while he is hit over power now, his power is trending up. Schunk controls the strike zone, makes contact at a high clip and drives the ball to all fields. His bat speed reportedly improved this past season, which combined with his size and contact skill, gives him a chance to hit for 25-homer pop. A third baseman by trade (he was a two-way player in college), Schunk is now capable of handling the keystone as well, which gives him another avenue to break through with the big-league club when he is ready in a year or two. It doesn't really matter for fantasy, but it's worth noting that he got rave reviews for his leadership in addition to what he was doing at the plate and in the field.
A two-way player at Georgia, Schunk had a breakout junior year at the plate and that success translated after the Rockies selected him with the No. 62 overall pick. There might be untapped potential with Schunk now that he is committed to being a position player full time. He has a quick, whippy swing and made contact at an excellent clip (13.0 K%) in the Northwest League. His 26.9 LD% and 37.9 GB% helped make up for his pull-heavy approach from the right side. Schunk is a good athlete for a college corner infielder, and could chip in 8-10 steals, but the driving force behind his fantasy value will be a potentially above-average hit tool with above-average power and home games in Coors Field. While Colton Welker and Tyler Nevin have outgrown third base and Ryan McMahon seems like a great long-term fit at first base, Brendan Rodgers and Ryan Vilade linger as internal competition if Nolan Arenado gets dealt.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Debut not likely soon?
3BColorado Rockies
June 27, 2024
According to Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post, Schunk may not be close to being called up for his major-league debut.
ANALYSIS
Schunk is a fringe prospect that posted a .290/.350/.461 slash line in his first taste of the Triple-A level last season. Now 26 years old, the third baseman has followed up with seven homers, 11 steals and an .808 OPS through 69 games in 2024, though it's worth remembering he's playing in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League. He's also not on the 40-man roster, so the Rockies would need to free up some space in order to bring him up. Still, he's hitting well in the highest level of the minors, and that could be enough to get him a shot before the end of 2024 given Colorado is competing for the worst record in the NL.
