The Schemel Legacy
Maels
Maels was the 5th overall pick in '24 by Shanghai and had a long career with a variety of teams. He won the Rookie Award in '25 while still with Shanghai, but was shipped off to Cuba the following season where he also spent two seasons before being traded to Tokyo, again for two seasons and finally found a home in 1830 across the bay with Fukuoka.
Maels won three gold gloves at third base and was an 8 time all star. He finished his long career with 3185 hits and a .331 average, which are currently 12th and 4th best all time
Andres
I mentioned Delahanty on the road to breaking the Home Run record, and I'll post a more in-depth look at that chase over the years later on, but for now, lets look at the current standard, Maels's son, Andres. Andres was the 4th overall pick by Latin in 1845. Like his father, Andres would have an amazingly long career, spanning 22 years, half with Latin and half with Osaka.
Andres would win a Rookie Award ('46), a Gold Glove ('52 RF), 4 Slugger Awards ('49, '50, '53, '57) and was a 11 time all-star. Never a huge home run hitter, Andres made his impact by his sheer durability, and would finish his career with 3144 hits, 643 home runs and a .295/.387/.534 line. He would also rack up 248 outfield assists against just 14 errors, 3 of which came in his final season at 43. Andres scored the 8th most runs, knocked in the 5th most runs, drew the 10th most walks, hit the most home runs and is 3rd all time in total bases.
