Amateur career
Born and raised in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Schebler attended Cedar Rapids Prairie High School. Growing up, Schebler was a fan of the St. Louis Cardinals. At Cedar Rapids Prairie, Schebler was a five-sport athlete in baseball, football, basketball, soccer, and track and field. Schebler later attended Des Moines Area Community College in Boone, Iowa.[1][2]
Professional career
Los Angeles Dodgers
Schebler was drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 26th round of the 2010 MLB Draft out of Des Moines Area Community College.[3] He began his career with five games for the Arizona League Dodgers in 2010.[4] In 2011 with the Ogden Raptors of the Pioneer Baseball League, he hit .285 in 70 games with 12 homers and 58 RBI and in 2012 with the Great Lakes Loons of the Midwest League, he hit .312 with 6 homers and 67 RBI in 137 games.[4]
Schebler had a breakthrough season in 2013 with the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes of the California League. In 125 games, he hit .296 with 27 home runs and 91 RBI to lead the entire Dodgers farm system in both homers and RBI. He was selected as a post-season California League All-Star[5] and the Dodgers minor league player of the year.[6] He was promoted to the AA Chattanooga Lookouts for 2014 and was selected to the mid-season Southern League all-star game.[7] He was also selected as a post-season All-Star[8] as he hit .280 with 28 homers and 73 RBI in 135 games.[4] After the season, he played with the Glendale Desert Dogs in the Arizona Fall League and was selected to the AFL Top Prospects List.[9]
On November 20, 2014, Schebler was added to the Dodgers 40-man roster in order to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft[10] and he was assigned to the AAA Oklahoma City Dodgers to start the 2015 season.[11]
