Looking At Schuemann

Schuemann was picked in the 20th round of the 2018 MLB Draft.
He had spent the first two seasons of his career with the Athletics.
Yankees PR wrote (on February 9): “The New York Yankees today announced that they have acquired infielder Max Schuemann from the Athletics in exchange for minor league right-handed pitcher Luis Burgos.”
He has been a solid addition to the team’s bench.
Right now, the 29-year-old is batting .240 with 12 hits, two home runs, six RBIs, 16 runs and three stolen bases in 30 games.
