Schueler played baseball at
Campolindo High School in
Moraga, California as a left-handed
pitcher. In 1993, Schueler became the first woman to be drafted by an MLB team when the
Chicago White Sox picked her directly out of high school in the 43rd round (1208th pick overall) of the
1993 MLB draft. Prior to Schueler's drafting, the MLB had a ban in place on signing contracts for women; following her drafting by the White Sox, the rule was rescinded. At the time of her drafting, Schueler was also a basketball star for her high school's basketball team. She did not sign with the White Sox, and instead attended and played basketball for
DePaul University in
Chicago, Illinois before transferring to
St. Mary's College of California, in Moraga, where she continued to play until an injury in 1996. ==Career statistics==
