RJ Schreck went from a prospect barely ranked in the Seattle Mariners’ top-30 to one of the best position player prospects in the Toronto Blue Jays’ system.
This is Blue Jays Nation’s annual mid-season prospect list, where we’ll take a look at the 50 best prospects in the Toronto Blue Jays organization. I’ll look at the player’s stats, what other publications have to say, as well as my own observations of the players.
Schreck has had a meteoric rise in 2025, ranking as our eighth-best Blue Jays prospect in the mid-season update. If you missed who ranked ninth, you can read about Jake Cook here.

Getting to know RJ Schreck…

Position: Outfield
Bats: Left
Born: July 12th, 2000
Acquired: Trade with the Seattle Mariners
Previous ranking: 19th (2025 pre-season)
The Mariners drafted Schreck in the ninth round of the 2023 draft and signed him to an under-slot deal worth $100,000 less than slot value. Following the draft, the 6’1”, 205 lbs outfielder slashed .258/.336/.392 with two home runs in 110 plate appearances for a 100 wRC+.
Schreck began his 2024 season, his first full professional season, with the Mariners’ High-A team, slashing .261/.401/.464 with 12 home runs in 344 plate appearances for a 140 wRC+. Before the trade, Schreck had 34 plate appearances with the Mariners’ Double-A team.
That trade came before the 2024 trade deadline, as the Blue Jays sent veteran first baseman Justin Turner to the Mariners for the outfield prospect. Post trade, Schreck caught fire and slashed .255/.377/.521 with five home runs in 114 plate appearances for a 153 wRC+, hitting 17 home runs in 492 plate appearances in 2024.
Schreck continued his torrid pace in Double-A to begin the 2025 season, slashing .266/.396/.518 with nine home runs in 169 plate appearances with the New Hampshire Fisher Cats, giving him a 165 wRC+. The 25-year-old’s pace didn’t slow down upon his promotion to the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons, as he’s slashing .250/.391/.458 with nine home runs in 209 plate appearances for a 132 wRC+.
In their mid-season update, MLB Pipeline ranked Schreck as their 10th-best Blue Jays prospect. Despite hitting 17 home runs for the second consecutive season, the second-most in the organization this year, Schreck’s power is only graded at 40, or below-average. He’s a hit-over-power type of prospect with a good approach at the plate, while being an average defender in the outfield. They noted the power tool needed to grow, and it’s safe to say it has.
Due to missing time due to injury, Schreck is a good bet to attend the Arizona Fall League when that begins in November.
