2026 Fantasy Outlook
Schuemann has value in the deepest of AL-Only leagues on a bench because he qualifies at three positions on draft day. Schuemann is a discplined hitter whose best chance to reach base in 2025 was by drawing a walk, which he did 10.3% of the time over his 213 plate appearances. However, despite the discipline and high contact rate, he hit .197 on the season with a .295 OBP. That's tough to do, but his lack of bat speed and power make it difficult for him to hit the ball with authority so he instead attempts to employ the Willie Keeler approach of hitting it were they ain't. Unfortunately, 28 of his 36 hits were singles and that dog just isn't going to hunt on anything but a 12-team AL Only league roster with a bench and injuries. He has some speed, but until stealing first is legalized in the MLB, his chances to use that speed are limited. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Yankees in March of 2026.
Steals two bags Monday
Schuemann went 1-for-2 with two walks, a run and two stolen bases in a 7-6 win over Toronto on Monday.
Analysis
Schuemann got the start at third base before shifting over to left field late in the game. He made the most of the opportunity, reaching three times and swiping his first two bags of the campaign. Schuemann ranks in the 64th percentile in sprint speed leaguewide, but he had been 0-for-2 in theft attempts coming into Monday. He holds a fine .286/.474/.429 slash line across 19 plate appearances on the campaign but isn't much of a fantasy asset since he plays so sparingly -- Monday marked just his second start over New York's past six contests.

Stat Review
How does Max Schuemann compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

2025 Fantasy Outlook
Schuemann made his big-league debut in 2024 with the A's and posted a .220/.311/.308 slash line with seven home runs and 14 steals in 133 games. He saw most of his playing time at shortstop -- where he accrued minus-one Defensive Runs Saved and plus-two Outs Above Average -- but also made 27 appearances at third base and 10 in the outfield. His 10.6 percent walk rate was consistent with the strong patience he showed in the minors, and a 25.6 percent strikeout was respectable. Schuemann could open 2025 with a regular spot in the lineup -- depending on the Athletics' offseason additions -- but he's likely better suited for a utility role. He could push for 20 stolen bases with enough plate appearances but otherwise isn't likely to be a significant fantasy contributor.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Unlikely to be traded
The A's like Schuemann's versatility as a defender, and the organization isn't expected to consider trading him during the offseason, per Jason Burke of SI.com.
Analysis
Schuemann saw most of his action at shortstop and third base, but he also made brief appearances at second base and in the outfield. The 27-year-old didn't offer much offensively as a rookie with a .220/.311/.308 slash line in 133 games, but he's positioned himself well to serve as a utility option in 2025.
