My Take

Schmidt is the kind of pitcher whose story is all about perseverance, having been drafted in the first round even after needing Tommy John surgery in college, which says a lot about how much teams believed in his stuff. Watching him work his way from spot starter and long reliever into a genuine rotation piece for the Yankees has been rewarding for anyone who tracks player development. His cutter-heavy approach and willingness to attack hitters give him a scrappy edge. He is not a household name yet, but he is exactly the type of homegrown arm a contender quietly leans on more than the headlines suggest.
