"Schreck is an intelligent and mature hitter, one who consistently crafts strong game plans at the plate, a trait reflected in his advanced approach as a left-handed bat. That approach is his calling card, although continuing to add impact power will be key to his long-term development. On the defensive side of the ball, Schreck is a fundamentally reliable outfielder with solid athleticism, giving him a strong foundational skill set if one or more of his tools take a meaningful step forward."
"The 25-year-old, who climbed four minor league levels last year, was a ninth-round pick in the 2023 MLB Draft, selected by Seattle Mariners out of Vanderbilt. He began his career at Duke, but had an additional year of eligibility, a result of COVID, then chose to transfer, meaning he was an older draftee. Fast forward a year later, and he found himself as the return in the deal to send Justin Turner over to the Mariners, which worked out well for the Blue Jays,"
R.J. Schreck, 25, climbed four minor-league levels in 2025 and entered professional baseball as a ninth-round pick in the 2023 MLB Draft after a collegiate career that included Duke and Vanderbilt. He became part of the return in the trade sending Justin Turner to the Mariners. Schreck profiles as an intelligent, mature left-handed hitter who consistently crafts strong game plans and shows an advanced plate approach. Adding more impact power remains a key developmental need. Defensively he is a fundamentally reliable outfielder with solid athleticism and experience in both corner spots and center. He projects as a high-upside depth outfielder with potential to break out in Spring Training.
