When the Cardinals dealt Stephen Piscotty to the A’s last off-season, the bounty in return included second baseman Max Schrock. Since being drafted in the 13th round of the 2015 draft, Schrock had developed a reputation as one of the most unique prospects in all of baseball. He was a darling for stat mavens in spite of (or because of?) his lack of traditional prospect accolades on top 100 lists. He was a regularly featured player on Carson Cistulli’s Fringe Five series at Fangraphs. Cistulli even once landed on Schrock as a tongue-in-cheek future MVP.
