Davis Schneider News
Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Davis Schneider is starting at the keystone and hitting in the leadoff spot on Saturday against the visiting Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Zach Eflin. This will be the fourth time in the last seven games that Schneider has hit in the top spot for the Jays, with normal leadoff hitter George Springer down in the six-hole. Between second base and a corner-outfield spot, Schneider has become a lineup regular for Toronto of late and is hitting .257 (9-for-35) with two homers, five RBI and two stolen bases in 11 games so far in May. Schneider has never faced Eflin in his career and is hitting .260/.370/.490 on the season with an .860 OPS, five long balls, 17 RBI and two steals in 100 at-bats. If Springer continues to struggle offensively, it looks like Schneider will benefit by hitting atop Toronto's batting order.
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Davis Schneider went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in a 4-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday. Schneider provided most of the offense for the Blue Jays with a two-run shot off left-hander Tyler Alexander in the eighth inning. Schneider is hitting .260 with five homers, 17 runs, 17 RBI, and two steals across 100 at-bats this season. He has two homers and five RBI over his last seven games as he looks to stay hot for the Jays moving forward.
Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider said that Davis Schneider did some outfield work over the winter and will be focusing on second base and left field in spring training this year. Cavan Biggio, Santiago Espinal and Isiah Kiner-Falefa will be options at both second and third base for Toronto in 2024, which means Schneider may have to move to left field in order to stay in the lineup consistently. The 25-year-old's bat certainly played up in his first 35 big-league games in 2023, as he hit .276/.404/.603 with a 1.008 OPS, eight home runs and 20 RBI in 141 plate appearances. However, he finished just 2-for-35 to end the year and struck out 30 percent of the time. Schneider showed some interesting skills with the stick in Toronto last year, but playing time could be an issue in 2024.

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Davis Schneider broke onto the scene with authority and well surpassed even the loftiest of expectations in his rookie season in 2023. In his age-24 season, Schneider hit .276 with eight homers and a 1.007 OPS across 35 games and 141 trips to the plate. He was the club's best offensive player during his brief tenure in the big leagues. However, playing time questions remain in 2024. Schneider was not mentioned by name when skipper John Schneider was asked about his team's situation at second and third base, an ominous sign to be sure. While he should see decent playing time at second base, ATC is projecting just 404 trips to the plate for the 25-year-old. They also have him hitting 17 home runs with five stolen bases in that time, which is serviceable at the keystone, and his 511.40 ADP isn't ridiculous. He would still be a risky investment on draft day.
