He attended Greensburg Central Catholic High School in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, where he played on the school's baseball team as a shortstop[2][3] and he led the Centurions to the PIAA Class A title and a runner-up finish in the WPIAL.[citation needed] He enrolled at Virginia Tech and played for the Virginia Tech Hokies. The Colorado Rockies selected Schaeffer in the 38th round of the 2007 MLB draft. He played in Minor League Baseball for the Rockies organization for six seasons.[4]
After he retired, Schaeffer remained in the Rockies organization as a coach.[4] Schaeffer was named the manager of the Asheville Tourists for the 2015 through 2017 seasons, and the Hartford Yard Goats for the 2018 and 2019 seasons.[5] He was named the manager of the Albuquerque Isotopes for the 2020 season,[6] which was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
