Gunnar McLean Schubert is a 5’11”, 205 lb. middle-infielder from Auburn, Washington. Born on May 19th, 1996, he was the 28th round choice of the Miami Marlins in the 2018 MLB Amateur Draft
Gunnar’s selection continued an unprecedented trend in draft history, marking the fourth consecutive season that the Miami Marlins selected a player named either “Gunnar,” or “Gunner.” It started in 2015 with LHP Gunnar Kines, continued in 2016 with catcher Gunner Pollman, and reached three with the selection of LHP Gunner Leger in 2017.
Schubert was chosen by the Miami Marlins with the 837th overall pick, and if he gets to the major leagues he will be the first (of 40) to make it that far after getting selected from that position.
