Schneemann played college baseball at Brigham Young University (BYU).[1] In 2017, he played collegiate summer baseball with the St. Cloud Rox of the Northwoods League.[2]
He was selected by the Cleveland Indians in the 33rd round, with the 1,003rd overall selection, of the 2018 Major League Baseball draft.[3] He made his professional debut with the rookie-level Arizona League Indians, hitting .206 in 41 games. Schneemann spent the 2019 campaign with the Single–A Lake County Captains, playing in 70 games and hitting .287/.366/.374 with two home runs and 30 RBI.[4]
Schneemann did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] He returned to action in 2021 with Lake County and the Double–A Akron RubberDucks. In 51 games for the two affiliates, Schneemann accumulated a .252/.315/.407 batting line with six home runs, 30 RBI, and nine stolen bases.[6]
Schneemann spent the 2022 campaign with Akron, also receiving a late–season cup of coffee with the Triple–A Columbus Clippers. In 112 games for Akron, he batted .205/.286/.292 with six home runs, 38 RBI, and 20 stolen bases.[7] Schneemann spent the entirety of the 2023 campaign with Columbus, playing in 114 games and slashing .267/.360/.437 with career–highs in home runs (16) and RBI (60) paired with 17 stolen bases.[8]
Schneemann began the 2024 season with Triple–A Columbus, hitting .294/.428/.556 with 10 home runs and 39 RBI across 53 games. On June 2, 2024, Schneemann was selected to the 40-man roster and promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[9] In his debut, he hit a two–RBI double on the first pitch in his first major league at-bat against Washington Nationals pitcher Jake Irvin.
