The 6-foot-4, 195-pound senior right-handed pitcher led the Bears to a 38-2 record and the Division I state title this past season. Schmidt compiled a 9-0 record on the mound with a 0.44 ERA and 102 strikeouts against just 17 walks in 63.2 innings of work, holding opposing hitters to a .091 average. A 2023 Baseball Factory All-American Game selection and the nation’s sixth-ranked player in the Class of 2024 by Perfect Game, he also batted .292 at the plate with a home run and 16 RBI.
Schmidt has maintained a 3.60 GPA in the classroom. He has signed a National Letter of Intent to play baseball on scholarship at Louisiana State University this fall, but is projected as an early round selection in July’s Major League Baseball First Year Player Draft.
Schmidt has volunteered locally on behalf of the Miracle League of Louisiana and the Williamsburg Senior Living Community in addition to serving as a youth baseball coach.
