ARLINGTON, Texas — It took Daniel Schneemann six years in the minors before the BYU product made his big league debut with Cleveland on June 2, 2024, but the affable and versatile Guardian wouldn’t change a thing about his road to the show.

“I knew going to BYU out of high school I was going to have to play really well just to get an opportunity (to play professionally), and luckily this organization gave me an opportunity,” Schneemann, 28, said prior to an Aug. 22, 2025, road game in Texas. “I knew I was going to have to put in a lot of work and really develop as a player. I knew it was going to take a long time. I had some expectations for myself and tried to stay patient and play my game.”

After playing in Provo from 2016 through 2018, he was a 33rd-round pick for Cleveland in 2018.
