Pitching
Schmit can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Schmit also has a decent changeup. Schmit has had a tendency to fall victim to big innings. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. His windup, though, makes him an easy target to run on. Schmit is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Schmit has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Schmit as a pinch-runner on occasion.
