Daniel Schneemann

29-Year-Old Second Baseman2B
Cleveland Guardians
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Schneemann was deployed primarily against right-handers, with just 15 percent of his plate appearances coming versus lefties, as his platoon splits largely dictated his role. He produced a .670 OPS with the platoon advantage, compared to a .428 mark against same-side pitching. While second base was his main position, he logged time everywhere except first base and catcher, and his defense earned him finalist recognition for the AL Gold Glove among utility players, which helped keep his bat in the lineup despite modest production. He did make progress at the plate, hitting the ball harder and more often than in his rookie season. Entering his age-29 season, the developmental runway is limited, and while a continued step forward could still change the outlook, he profiles most clearly as a versatile platoon bat capable of covering multiple positions, with limited power and speed.

Goes deep in loss
2BCleveland Guardians
April 28, 2026
Schneemann started at second base and went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Rays.
Analysis
Schneemann gave the Guardians a lead with his fourth home run of the season in the fifth inning before the bullpen let it slip away. Since Gabriel Arias (hamstring) landed on the injured list earlier this month and Brayan Rocchio was moved over to shortstop, Schneemann has been receiving most of his playing time at the keystone, or at third base when Jose Ramirez has served as the club's designated hitter. The Guardians plan to call up top prospect Travis Bazzana from Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday to take over as their everyday second baseman, but that doesn't mean Schneemann and his .978 OPS won't find a near-everyday role in the lineup. In addition to being capable of playing second base, third base and shortstop, Schneemann has experience at all three outfield spots.

2025 Fantasy Outlook
After spending parts of six seasons in the minors, Schneemann made his MLB debut in 2024. The 27-year-old rookie got off to a strong start, posting an .836 OPS across 21 games in June after first getting the call. However, Schneemann proceeded to post a .600 OPS with a .199 batting average over his final 52 games. During that final stretch, he also struck out 33.6 percent of the time. Oddly, the lefty bat performed much better against southpaws, registering a .993 OPS in those matchups, though he only saw 36 plate appearances against lefties all year. Looking ahead, Schneemann projects as a platoon option who should continue to see more run against righties. He has the versatility to play multiple positions, which boosts his overall usefulness, though Schneemann will need to see a bump in playing time to take a step forward for fantasy purposes.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Gold Glove finalist
2BCleveland Guardians
October 24, 2025
Schneemann is one of three players nominated to win the 2025 Gold Glove Award as a utility player in the American League, according to MLB.com.
Analysis
Schneemann tallied a plus-8 OAA and plus-8 DRS during the regular season while lining up at every position except pitcher, catcher and first base. However, his numbers aren't as eye-popping as the two other candidates for the award, Ernie Clement and Mauricio Dubon. Clement is in the running to win multiple Gold Gloves, as he's also nominated at third base, while Dubon has been a finalist for this award each of the last two seasons, winning it in 2023.
