10-21-18 - Strong, 6-1, 175 pound frame.  Schmidt looks the part with an athletic, tapered build. He has room to add weight and strength. He displayed tremendous athleticism at shortstop ranging right and left. He showed the actions and arm strength to stay at shortstop, with a feel for touch throws.  He demonstrated a good arm, planting and throwing from the six hole.  Schmidt has a simple approach at the plate with minimal hand movement and small stride.   He made consistent hard contact with a short stroke.  He possesses sneaky power with good bat speed and short follow through.  Size and strength increases may lend to him playing third base in which case he would profile as a good defender and middle of the order type bat.
