Blue Jays prospect acquired in forgettable Justin Turner trade hits a home run in first Buffalo Bisons at bat

Schreck, former 9th-round selection by the Mariners in the 2023 draft, Schreck is a power-hitting corner outfielder with a solid plate approach.

His career walk rate hovers around 13.5% in his time in the minor leagues, which sits firmly above average.

It's an extremely patient approach at the plate, as evidenced by the fact that Schreck is only swinging at 40.4% of the pitches he's seen in 2025.

After joining the Blue Jays organization post-trade deadline last season, Schreck slashed .255/.377/.521, good for a 153 wRC+.

His 14.0% walk rate was in the 95th percentile for double-A, and his strikeout rate was firmly in check, sitting at a modest 23.7%.

So far in 2025, Schreck has gotten even better. Currently slashing .270/.386/.549 (.935 OPS), with nine home runs, 18 RBIs, four stolen bases, and a 171 wRC+.

He was atop the Eastern League leaderboard in OPS (.935), with teammate Yohendrick Pinango (.931) right behind him, with the AA New Hampshire Fishercats.

With those numbers you knew a promotion was coming soon and sure enough Schreck got promoted to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

In his first at bat with his new team Schreck made an excellent impression by hitting a two-run 368 foot homerun at107.MPH off the bat.
