Schmitt

Verbally committed to Illinois.

Repeated a quick, yet somewhat mechanical delivery with clean arm action and full arm circle to a high three-quarter slot. Threw against a firm front side, producing above average arm speed. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound righty filled up the strike zone with an 88-90 mph fastball and below average 73-75 mph curve. He also dropped his release point to mix in an 80 mph flat slider. His fastball showed low spin (1,775 rpm) and averaged 14.9 inches of induced vertical break. Uncommitted entering the ProCase, Schmitt emerged from the event with much newfound interest and recently committed to Illinois.
