Originally a Division-3 product from Madison, Wisconsin, Schmitt was a weekend starter for Illinois this spring, where he delivered 80 and 2/3 innings across 15 starts with a 4.80 ERA and 58 strikeouts. Still 20 years old, Schmitt is a projectable 6'3", 200 pounds. He throws a low-90s fastball, a low to mid-70s sweeper, and a low-80s changeup that flashes as his best pitch. The command has a long way to go, but you're betting on the projection and the present feel for a changeup.
