Davis Schneider is already a Blue Jays fan favourite but he remains a mystery box NickAshbourne
while demonstrating he's one of the fastest men in the game, it's easy to say "this guy is going to be a star."His max exit velocity is in the 30th percentile among MLB hitters, while his sprint speed is in the 47th percentile.

Schneider has excellent plate discipline with a 15.1% walk rate in his minor-league career. That's an important skill, but we don't yet know if MLB pitchers will consider him enough of a threat to not simply pound the zone. Pitches against him in his first four games have come in the zone 58.5% of the time, way above the MLB average . Right now he's constantly getting challenged, and if opponents continue to see that as a viable strategy it will be hard for him to run a massive walk rate.While Schneider doesn't absolutely scorch the baseball, some of his contact quality numbers at Triple-A were excellent nonetheless.
