"Davis Schneider doesn't step up to the plate looking to put the ball in play any way he can. He's trying to punch the opposing pitcher in the mouth - and he landed quite the impressive blow in Tuesday's chaotic, topsy-turvy 9-7 win over the Milwaukee Brewers in extra innings."
"Given that Schneider's largely been utilized in a part-time role this season, capitalizing on every chance that comes his way is just as meaningful as it'd be if he were an everyday player."
"Following Eloy Jiménez's lead-off walk to begin the top of the ninth, Schneider turned on a middle-middle 98.1-m.p.h. fastball from Brewers closer Trevor Megill that nearly cleared the right-centre wall, travelling 394 feet."
Davis Schneider, a part-time player for the Toronto Blue Jays, waited for his opportunity during a game against the Milwaukee Brewers. After striking out in the seventh inning, he redeemed himself in the ninth by hitting a powerful 394-foot drive off closer Trevor Megill. Schneider's preparation included practice with a pitching machine to face left-handers, highlighting the importance of each at-bat for a player in a limited role. His performance contributed to the team's extra-inning victory.
