The utility man was solid for the triple-A Buffalo Bisons this season, hitting .275 with 31 home runs and 64 runs batted in. But since being called up to the major-league club in Toronto, he's come into his own at the plate.
Schneider hit .426 through 14 games in August, racking up six homers and 14 RBIs with a .526 on-base percentage. He became the first player in MLB history with nine hits and two homers in his first three games. Coaker Triplett is the only other major-leaguer with nine hits in his first three games, accomplishing the feat for the Chicago Cubs in April 1938.
“I think it's great they're supporting me,” he said at the steps of Toronto's dugout. “If I was hitting .100 they wouldn't be doing it but I'm glad they're getting behind me with it. Schneider's on-base percentage leads the team and his 2.0 Wins Above Replacement, a stat that measures a player's value by deciphering how many more wins he's worth than a replacement-level player at the same position, is the fifth highest among Toronto's batters.“I've never been in the playoffs in the minor leagues,” said Schneider, noting that the Bisons could still potentially make the triple-A playoffs. “Every game is important down there, but here it's different.
