Max Schuemann

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Oakland Athletics #27 prospect in 2022
  Track Record: Schuemann starred at both Portage (Mich.) Northern High and Eastern Michigan, so it’s only fitting his breakout season began at High-A Lansing in 2021. He vaulted three levels up to Triple-A and tied for fifth among all minor leaguers with 52 steals, tormenting opposing pitchers and catchers in the first year of MLB’s experimental pickoff rules in High-A.
  
  Scouting Report: Schuemann is a plus runner, but his base-stealing ability benefits from strong baseball instincts that show up across several facets of his game. He’s stretched a bit thin at shortstop, his natural defensive position, but he’s added versatility, playing second base and all three outfield positions with Double-A Midland. Schuemann showed impressive bat-to-ball skills but modest impact at the plate. His below-average power potential puts more strain on his hit tool, and he’ll need to continue to hone in his approach against veteran pitching.
  
  The Future: After adding more versatility to complement his running ability, Schuemann has the ceiling of a versatile up-and-down utility player.
