Casey Schmitt

25-Year-Old ShortstopSS
San Francisco Giants
2024 Fantasy Outlook
A second-round pick in 2020, Schmitt was called up for the first time in May as a replacement for Brandon Crawford. Schmitt ended up bouncing between shortstop (42 games), third base (35 games) and second base (19 games), mostly struggling at the plate until the final day of the season when he hit two home runs. He spent some time back at Triple-A in August and September as the team tried to spark the offense later in the year. Among the 328 big leaguers to see 250-plus plate appearances last season, Schmitt ranked 11th worst by wRC+ (59). While he ended the season on a brief high note, Schmitt is not a lock to start the 2024 season with a regular role. His minor-league track record suggests there may be something here, but most will need to see more before rostering him on a fantasy team. Read Past Outlooks

2023 Fantasy Outlook
From May 1 on, Schmitt hit .296/.372/.496 with 19 home runs, a 22.6 K% and a 9.6 BB% in 110 games across High-A, Double-A and Triple-A. He is an excellent defensive third baseman, which is a very important part of his dynasty profile, as he might only need to be a league average hitter to play every day in the majors. Schmitt is not on the 40-man roster yet, so he should spend a good portion of his age-24 season back at Triple-A, refining his approach at the plate.

SSSan Francisco Giants
March 9, 2023
Schmitt will continue to get reps at shortstop and might be a long-term answer there for the Giants, per John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle.
ANALYSIS
Schmitt has primarily played third base since the Giants selected him in the second round of the 2020 MLB Draft, but he did see time at short last year in High-A ball and the club's talent evaluators think he has the defensive skills to handle the position. The 24-year-old is on track to make his MLB debut in 2023 after climbing to Triple-A Sacramento for a brief cup of coffee to finish out the 2022 campaign. Maybe he could eventually take over for 36-year-old impending free agent shortstop Brandon Crawford in San Francisco.
