Scouting Report

Assets
  • Schmidt relies on a mid-upper-90s heater and a hard slider for outs. He is most successful when he can run his fastball in on the hands of batters. He also throws a change-up that helps to keep hitters off balance.
Flaws
  • Though he's made huge strides in his game, he still winds up with unnecessarily high pitch counts and a lot of walks.
Career Potential
  • Among the ranks of elite starters.
