Schmidt and the Catholic HS baseball team are awfully loaded. He is the dominant ace on the mound with a fastball that has reportedly tickled 98 with some late life. Scouts would like to see him get a bit more value out of the fastball and specifically miss a few more bats, but it's his second-best pitch anyways. He's got a high-spin 12-6 curveball that comfortably grabs plus projections from scouts. It's a two-plane banger that's been a knockout weapon featuring considerable depth and disgusting tunnel off his fastball, more depth than lateral tilt. Schmidt will also work in a changeup that lags a bit, the two-pitch combo doing the heavy lifting right now. He does have some effort at release and can overthrow his arsenal at times. He's a strike-thrower, though the quality in command of those pitches can be streaky. It's absolutely electric arm speed, loose and whippy with considerably more projection to come in his frame. From this chair, the addition of an upper-80s cutter would potentially give Schimdt the best arsenal in the high school class and the chance to be a frontline arm. He certainly looks the part with the high-waist frame and long arms to project more velocity on the way. He's one of the more gifted arms available in the 2024 class with the potential for two 60-grade pitches if the fastball continues it's upwards trajectory.
