Jared Michael "Skip" Schumaker (/ˈʃuːmɑːkər/ SHOO-mah-kər; born February 3, 1980) is an American former professional baseball second baseman and outfielder, who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the St. Louis Cardinals, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Cincinnati Reds.
Schumaker graduated from Aliso Niguel High School before a short, two-year career at the University of California, Santa Barbara. In 2001, his only year with regular playing time, Schumaker had 100 total hits for a batting average of an even .400, while achieving 41 RBI.
He was selected in the 5th round of the 2001 MLB Draft by the St. Louis Cardinals.
Schumaker spent the remainder of 2001 with the short-season New Jersey Cardinals, and in 2002 he had 158 hits for the Potomac Cannons. His minor-league career advanced from Single-A in 2003, when he was promoted to the Tennessee Smokies, where he spent two full seasons. A .316 batting average in 2004 was enough to give him a shot with the Cardinals during spring training in 2005.
