School: Vanderbilt Source: 4YR
Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted
Age At Draft: 23
After receiving substantial interest in the 2021 draft following a season in which he hit .337 with eight doubles, 18 home runs and 52 RBIs, Schreck opted to return to Duke for his senior season before deciding to use his last year of eligibility this spring at Vanderbilt. With a July 12 birthday, Schreck will be 23 years old by the time the draft comes but could be a nice senior sign for someone thanks to a solid 2023 season. Schreck was one of the top hitters on Vanderbilt’s team this spring, and he slashed .304/.452/.585 with 14 home runs, 15 doubles, an 11% strikeout rate and a 16.4% walk rate. Schreck’s approach improved drastically this spring, and led to an overall miss rate of just 17% to go along with more walks than strikeouts. He has a relaxed stance in the box in which his front side is very open and his bat sits on his back shoulder. Schreck has above-average power to the pull side and his bat speed combined with his barrel sense enables him to generate consistent quality impact. Schreck is a good defender in right field with an average arm. He could be a senior target late on day two or on day three.

BA Grade/Risk: 45/High.
Track Record: A native of Los Angeles, Schreck attended Harvard-Westlake High and spent four seasons playing at Duke before entering the portal as a graduate transfer and committing to Vanderbilt. After Schreck hit .306/.454/.588 over 62 games with the Commodores, the Mariners drafted him in the ninth round in 2023. He signed for $75,000 and debuted that year. Schreck was assigned to High-A Everett to begin 2024 and hit for an .865 OPS before earning the promotion to Double-A. Schreck was traded to the Blue Jays for Justin Turner on July 29.
Scouting Report: Schreck’s advanced feel for the barrel is his carrying tool, enhancing both his hit tool and his power. Schreck rarely misses in-zone and shows elite swing decisions in teams’ analytical models. It’s a plus hit tool with the ability to manipulate the barrel, not only hitting the ball in the air at a high rate, but elevating to his pull side. Schreck has an ideal blend of plate skills and barrel accuracy. This allows his power to play above below-average exit velocity markers. Schreck’s pull side exploits allow him to project for 17-20 home runs at peak. Schreck is a fringe-average runner with good baserunning instincts. He plays a fringe-average corner outfield with an average arm. He’s filled in at center field, but is likely stretched at the position from a range perspective.
The Future: Schreck is an intriguing late-bloomer with unusual barrel control that enhances his profile. Schreck looks like a second-division regular with a bat-first profile.
Scouting Grades: Hit: 60 | Power: 50 | Run: 45 | Field: 45 | Arm: 50.
