I can't recall anyone quite like Schneider with my team. One of my current starting pitchers was a waiver claim but had a sudden jump in his third pitch in spring training. He basically went from being relief pitching depth to a very good starter overnight. I didn't even notice his talent change until I was pruning my roster at the end of spring training.
I've had the occasional late-round draft pick turn into a star over the years. Larry Kittel is one of my more recent ones (see attached screenshot). He was a 16th rounder, but steadily improved and eventually turned into the league's #10 prospect. He won the award for the league's best pitcher in his first two full seasons before becoming a solid mid-rotation starter and innings eater. Right now he's more of a fifth starter, but I hope to get a couple more effective years out of him.
For anyone wondering, his run support in 2153 was an absurd 6.6 runs/game:
