His professional journey began that same year with the Gulf Coast Blue Jays. Despite challenges, including the cancellation of the 2020 Minor League Baseball season due to COVID-19, Schneider persisted, playing for various Blue Jays affiliates like Bluefield, Vancouver, Dunedin, and Buffalo Bisons. His hard work paid off when he was called up to the majors on August 4, 2023.

Vogelbach's ability to drive in runs and provide a solid presence in the lineup was evident.
Transitioning to 2023, Vogelbach continued his strong performance with the Seattle Mariners, recording a .259 batting average, 22 home runs, and 68 RBIs in 120 games. His consistent power production and offensive contributions have solidified his reputation as a reliable slugger in Major League Baseball.
