"Davis Schneider broke out in the 2022 season, hitting a home run in his first plate appearance at Fenway Park and ending the season slashing .276/.404/.603."
"Schneider's struggles continued into 2025, slashing just .067/.333/.067 over his first 21 plate appearances until he was optioned to the Bisons."
"Once he re-joined the Jays on June 1st, Schneider settled in nicely to a bench role, slashing .249/.364/.468 with 11 home runs in 206 plate appearances."
"The fact he carved out a niche as a bench bat who could play in left field and second base should probably give him a leg up over Jiménez."
Chase Lee, Spencer Miles, Davis Schneider, and Leo Jiménez are vying for two spots on the Blue Jays' Opening Day roster. Schneider, drafted in 2017, had a breakout 2022 season and a strong start in 2024, but struggled later that year. He found success in a bench role, contributing significantly during the World Series. Jiménez's performance and versatility are also under consideration, making the decision between him and Schneider complex as the deadline approaches.
