Davis Schneider has shifted from a platoon bench role into a player producing against both right-handed and left-handed pitching, showing notable power. He owns a .792 OPS versus right-handed pitchers and has received increased playing time from manager John Schneider. In a recent game versus the Minnesota Twins he went two for two with a walk, two home runs, and two RBIs. One homer registered a 45-degree launch angle that grazed the Rogers Centre roof and tied for the highest launch angle by a Blue Jay in the Statcast era. Over his last 15 games he hit .341/.400/.756 with five home runs, strengthening his case for an everyday starting role.
Coming into 2025, the discussion surrounding Davis Schneider often placed him in a bench role, primarily slotting in against left-handed pitchers. However, that conversation is slowly morphing, as he's now crushing both righties and lefties, with a whole lot of power too. Thus far, he sports a .792 OPS against right-handed pitchers, which has led to skipper John Schneider giving him plenty of looks as of late. The 26-year-old from New Jersey is making a compelling case to be an everyday starter down the stretch.
In the last game of the recent series versus the Minnesota Twins, Schneider put on a clinic, going two for two with a walk, two home runs, and two runs batted in. His first tank of the night, barely snuck over the wall and had a launch angle of 45 degrees, which is unheard of, as it basically grazed the roof of the Rogers Centre.
