RJ sported an .865 OPS with the Everett AquaSox in the Northwest League in early 2024, prior to promotion to the Arkansas Travelers. Schreck played in eight games with the Travs before being shipped to New Hampshire, where he joined the Fisher Cats in the middle of a road trip to Binghamton. Schreck knocked a pair of doubles in his first game with the Fisher Cats on August 2 to begin a seven-game hit streak and reached base safely in 14 of his first 15 games with New Hampshire.
