Unfortunately, things got a little bit more forgettable down the stretch, as he went 2 for his last 35, highlighted by an 0-for-31 drought before hitting a pair of doubles in the season finale. In a rough season for the Blue Jays, the emergence of 'Babe' Schneider was one of the biggest bright sports. His 1.315 OPS was the best through a player's first 25 games in MLB HISTORY.
Through his first 25 games, he had 102 plate appearances and was slashing. He debuted on August 4th in Boston, homered in his first career at-bat, then proceeded to be the best hitter in baseball for about a month. We all remember Schneider's start in the big leagues. However, after a rough end to his season, and not coming to the plate once in the postseason, the starting second base job for 2024 seems far from certain. Midway through September, Davis Schneider had a 1.315 OPS through 25 games and seemed like he may be the Blue Jays' second baseman of the future.
