He was named a 2^nd team All-State player by the Wisconsin Baseball Coaches Association as a junior at St. Joe’s.

Kingfish General Manager, Jake McGhee, is excited about the addition of Schuler to the roster, “We always love signing highly talented players, especially when they come from our hometown and a great program like St. Joe's. I have seen Pete hit many home runs while playing his high school home games at Simmons Field and hope to see many more next summer."

Schuler is the newest Kenosha native to sign with the Kingfish and looks forward to playing for his hometown: “It's going to be nice coming back home to play for Kenosha in one of the best summer collegiate baseball leagues in country. Nothing beats representing your hometown. I'm excited to meet new teammates and get after it on the field with them every day."
