2024 Fantasy Outlook
After securing a spot in the Yankees' Opening Day rotation last spring, Schmidt looked poised for an age-27 breakout. He did in some ways rise to the occasion, logging the highest innings total of any Yankees pitcher not named Gerrit Cole, but his ERA (4.64) and WHIP (1.35) were only mediocre and he made it past the sixth inning just three times in 32 starts. Schmidt has a well-rounded four-pitch arsenal, but none of those offerings have proven to be dominant against major-league competition up to this point. He had zero double-digit strikeout games in 2023. Leaving open the possibility that Schmidt could make some tweaks and achieve another level in 2024, he'll be worthy of late-round consideration in most standard fantasy drafts but probably isn't bankable enough yet for a mid-round reach.

Fans five in no-decision
Schmidt allowed two runs on five hits and a walk over 5.2 innings during a no-decision Friday. He struck out five in the win over Boston.
ANALYSIS
Schmidt rolled through five shutout frames before serving up a two-run homer to Masataka Yoshida that ended his night just shy of a quality start. Those are the only two runs Schmidt has allowed over 10.1 innings since returning from a lengthy stint on the injured list. He forced 13 swinging strikes Friday, including six via the sweeper. He's sporting a 2.41 ERA with a 74:22 K:BB over 70.1 innings this season. Schmidt is projected to start in Seattle next week.

2021
2020
2019
Schmidt, on the whole, had a rather impressive season between Triple-A and The Bronx with 102 strikeouts in 90.2 innings of work while scattering six homers. The righty leverages his high spin stuff to frustrate hitters but at times struggles to throw strikes which inflates his WHIP more than it should be for someone with his raw stuff. He is the prototypical sinker/slider righty and the adjusted Yankee slider was awesome last season with a 41% whiff rate and a .159 xBA. The sinker has much more room for improvement with a .283 xBA and a 15% whiff rate to it. He has the arsenal of a starting pitcher but lacks the durability of one making him an ideal swingman in the Yankee bullpen for 2023. The fantasy hope would be for him to vulture some decisions in middle relief as his command is too suspect to assume any closer duties while his durability makes it tough to envision him in a rotation.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Better mixing in cutter, slider
Schmidt has found more success with his cutter and slider of late, per Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News, and the right-hander has a 1.72 ERA and 17 strikeouts over his past three starts.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old surrendered 28 earned runs across 40 innings during his first nine starts of the year, but better incorporation of his cutter and slider appears to have helped him turn a corner. Schmidt's spot in the rotation is secure for the foreseeable future given the injuries to the Yankees' rotation.
