Drafted in the 9th round (282nd overall) by the Houston Astros in 2018 (signed for $10,000).
View Draft Report
A 26th-round pick of the Rays last year, Schreiber's lengthy medical record understandably gives teams concern, but they also like his track record of being one of the more productive hitters in the Big Ten. Schreiber has hit .369/.446/.692 with 18 home runs this spring and also hit 16 home runs as a sophomore even though he missed time with an abdominal injury. He is moving better this year than he did last year when his power dissipated in games, although he still showed plus-plus raw juice. Scouts see Schreiber as largely limited to first base nowadays although he was capable of handling right field in the past. As a productive senior money saver with power potential, Schreiber will likely go at some point in the sixth to 10th round.

The younger brother of current Rays minor league righthander Brad Schreiber, Scott had an outstanding sophomore season as he hit 16 home runs, the most by a Nebraska sophomore since Alex Gordon hit 18 in 2004. He posted those numbers even though he missed time at the end of the season with an abdominal injury. While he's hit for average again in 2017 (.335/.382/.491), he's not shown the same power in games, although he still shows plus to plus-plus raw power in batting practice. Schreiber was playing every day for Nebraska but he served as the DH and played first base more this season before moving back to the outfield later in the season. He doesn't move all that well and scouts vary on whether he's a viable option in the outfield. Schreiber's injury will cause some teams to pass, but he played in all but one of Nebraska's regular season games this year.
