I'm not even the biggest baseball fan but I find this guys story endearing, I hope he can overcome the issues in his swing and become a more versatile hitter, he seems like a great guy.
Thank you for making an interesting vid on a lesser known player. Lord knows nobody needs a 300th video on either Ohtani, Harper, Soto,etc... good stuff 💪
He's a player that's built around the '3 outcomes rule'. He either struck out, walked, or hit for extra bases. Once teams realized he couldn't hit anything above his belt, nobody was afraid to pitch to him, so the strikeouts went sky high, and the walks went way down.
Pitching staffs eventually caught on that he was bad down and away, and only strong up and in. And pitched him accordingly. The wheels started coming off from there.
@@judsonwright I noticed they pitched him away and he tried to pull those pitches over the left field fence. Maybe he should try to hit that ball to right field . Barger does the same thing , only to right field . Same swing all the time no matter where the ball is .
@joemarais7683 I was the MVP of the Madagascar national team. Then am errant throw from an autistic bat boy ended my career abruptly. Now I rip on players to forget my broken dreams 💔
They threw a lot of borderline high fastballs at him and he can't reach them. Even when they weren't strikes the umps made some bad calls or he swung at them. The book was out on him and it avalanched his entire approach and plate discipline.
i still really hope next season he will come back and have a great season, as a jays fan need some of these guys to start making a impact on the roster to make a run and i feel like there really is some of those guys here with schneider, clement, horiwitz, wagner, etc.
@hucz glad you recognize me. It's a really positive memory for me with my brothers and dad. I'm going to comment on it every time. See ya on the next davis Schneider vid.
Same thing happened to varsho, I've never pitched a day in my life & I know this entire hitting lineup scouting report, their approach at the plate is always the same.. pitchers know soon as they get to their setup pitch. Hit that K button. if you pitch varsho above the plate he just can't resist to swing. Springer and Bo are gunho, they'll swing at anything recognizable. Kirk will make contact, don't try to strike him out. Pitch him groundball friendly plays
Can't believe he was still playing with the Jays after hitting .169 in june, .211 in July and then .064 in August yet the jays STILL let him play nearly every day. He's the worst hitting Jays I've ever seen that didn't get demoted. Wild
Who would come up to replace him? We saw what he was capable of. The jays were done by July so why not let him try and figure it out while they're in last place with a bad farm system?
@@keithball6480worst manager and gm is just lying to yourself. There’s much, much worse in the mlb. It just gets put on more display because Bo Bichette was hurt all year which killed us from the start, and relievers who were good and had good expected numbers just regressed
I have a feeling that his regression was a big factor in firing Guillermo Martinez. A bunch of the players on this team need to work on their swings if they want to be even remotely competitive next season.
The Jays front office and the management approach to players is akin to analytics. Analytics is great for fielding a team, but not much else. You need to develop players, not let them rot on their own. The constant juggling of line ups is confusing and often hinders players performance. Get a line up and work it hard. give it time until you "need" to make a change. Then work that line up hard until you get something solid. you cant do that if your moving players around like a game of dice. Davis Schneider is more than good. they just need to work with him and give him the field to work out the kinks. Another team could do that. just keep the analytics away from making all your decisions. Manage the team. coach the team. play the team.
He has to make an adjustment like all hitters do. Bautista after he hit 50 stopped getting thrown up and in. Too bad the hitting coaches foR the Blue Jays SUCKED at their job.
He needs to learn to hit the ball to the right side. You can't pull EVERYTHING over the left field fence . Take what they give you . If they pitch you away , take it the other way .
Yeah, he was exciting to watch and gave me hope for that season. Does it seem like he swings with his arms? It looks like he’s consciously thinking through his motions, like step 1, step 2/3. His arm swing seems more forceful than his hip torque when facing pitches above 95 mph. It’s as if he’s stopping or adjusting the tension at his biceps, not allowing it to fully propel through his arms to his fingers. On average, does eliminating the stride and/or leg kick help players hit fastballs over 95 mph if they create better core rotation?
all hitters that first arrived to Toronto were hitting lights out, until hitting coaches got a hold on them, same with pitching, now that hitting coach and pitching coaches have been let go
Starters don't have the complete team analysis of rookies. If a rookie has a great breakout, they will have a tough 2nd season as the pitchers will have every tell and weakness committed to memory. Midmaxing in MLB. Endless batter analysis is killing careers. Rowdy Tellez is another hot starter that went cold in recent memory.
@@miken8889 sigh....I'll hold your hand....2018, 73 ab, 22h, 9 2b, 4 hr, .315 avg, .329 obp, and this was after he went cold. His first 10 or so hits were all extra base hits. He set some sort of a rookie record. If your going to comment, do so with some substance
@cardboardempire cherry picking stats eh, how about those 111 KS in the next 110 games, while he walked 10 times! Feels like you need to hold you own hand while you deal with your feelings
I mean, analyzing batters is what pitchers and pitch staff do. While hitters and coaches also make adjustments and work on covering their weaknesses. For whatever reason Schneider just couldn't make the adjustment once they figured him out.
He was great in AAA after he made adjustments. Then he did great until they got the scouting report that he can't hit the high-heater. Personally... I think he has potential, he's got power and contact ability, and he can play LF, RF, 2B, SS. He can be a good utility player. He should really take nothing but high-heaters in the offseason and figure out his mechanics, then adjust his batting approach according to that.
@@johnpatrick7987 He was assuming you were posting that as some kind of clout chasing, even though you weren't. I went to high school with three kids that are still in the MLB now, and one who won a Super Bowl with the Broncos some years ago.
I was really routing for this guy last year, but you could tell when his average fell from .400 to below .300 in a matter of weeks that his miraculous start in the bigs would be short lived. I think he swings too hard at the plate and should focus on making contact and not trying to hit it out every time.
In the month of August, Davis Schneider had the slash line .064/.154/.085. He didn't have an ops above .550 after May. I love the dude, but he needed to get sent down to try and figure out what was going wrong in the batters box. There had to have been someone in the minors who could've produced better than him.
i dont think he can go down anymore. i think schneider is out of options. too many games at the MLB level to be sent down without having to clear wavers. i would have to fact check that but im fairly certain.
Hurricane Hazel, Milwaukee Braves 1957 Shane Spencer 1998 Schneider wasn't a prospect, the Jays needed him and he was HOT!!!!! But by mid September the league figured him out. He made the team as a 2B and a LF. He got off to a good start, he took walks, wasnt horrible in LF but not good either. He stopped hitting in late Spring and lost playing time, not even against lefties. He had a good week late in the season when it didnt matter. All in all he didnt hit enough even against lefties. Hes a poor defender anywhere. Best case: he has a monster spring, the Jays need a 2B or righty bat against lefties. Im in a strat o matic, i drafted him in the 20th round of a 22 round draft. Our league has a 120 bat minimum, Schenider was just short, he would have been a good option as a DH against lefties but i couldn't use him. I took a low risk that he would hit well enough to be protected. Sadly.....
What happened to Davis Schneider is what happens to hundreds of players who have a great September when the games don't matter and opposing pitchers only throw fastballs because they don't want to waste pitches on rookies. He can't hit major league pitching. He strikes out too much. He doesn't get on base. His only positive is he's a good defender. Maybe he needs a change of scenery? Maybe he'll figure it out next year?
He may have just been someone who was inevitably gonna decline. Pitchers figured him out quickly. He alone isn’t gonna fix the colossal disaster that is the Blue Jays organization
The issue with Schneider is that he's not a versatile hitter and outside the 2023 season and a bit of 2022, he never performed really well as a hitter in professional baseball. His last season was not to the calibre of an MLB starter unless it's for a basement team with a very low payroll. Does he have the potential to be a decent player? Sure. But he needs to change some things in his mechanic or next season he will be DFA and someone else will take his position. He seems like a good humble person, but baseball is a sport where you don't perform well for a while at an MLB level, you are cut off from the team. The Jays had a really crappy last season, almost everyone on the team performed below expectations. And yes, the Jays really had a real roster mess in 2024 considering Schneider had not been sent to Triple-A for a bit last season.
As a cardinals fan I shouldnt be shocked at all bro broke his 52 game homer drought against miles mikolas, miles is the bum of bums just retire already
Not sure how you make it to the majors being unable to hit high cheese. I think that speaks more to the Jays having zero talent in the pipeline. Also the clear issue with his swing is that its a home run or nothing swing.
he changed his approach at the plate a handful of times this year. he had 4 different batting stances. to think that he wasnt attempting to make adjustments in all those changes is idiotic. he may have actually tried too hard and didnt give anything a fair shot before abandoning it
if hes unknown to you then your opinion as a fan is invalid anyways. hes been with the team a few seasons and not only set blue jay records but MLB records. if thats obscure and unknown to you thats on you not anyone else.
