As a senior at Villanova in 2017, he started 12 games and went 4-6 with a 2.44 ERA.[2] Following the season's end, he was selected by the Tampa Bay Rays in the seventh round of the 2017 Major League Baseball draft.[3]

Professional career

Tampa Bay Rays

Schryver signed with the Rays and made his professional debut with the Hudson Valley Renegades of the Low-A New York–Penn League, going 4-0 with a 3.12 ERA and 38 strikeouts over 34+23 relief innings.[4] To begin the 2018 season, he was assigned to the Bowling Green Hot Rods of the Single-A Midwest League and was promoted to the Charlotte Stone Crabs of the High-A Florida State League during the season.
