Which Schmidt are you referencing here? Lol
It prob applies to both regardless. Max effort/reach back when needed - 98. Cruising mid 90s.

Skenes is also considered to have a "dead zone" fastball. It didn't matter when his velo was up and his breaking stuff was sharper. But see what's happened lately when his velo has dropped?
Who the crap ever said that about Skenes' fastball? He had something like 15 inches of run on his fastball and similar vertical break at LSU. I don't know what's wrong with him right now that's leading to the drop in velocity, but if his fastball isn't moving then that is a new problem, not a pre-existing one.

You’re going to compare a 20th round draft pick in Cam Johnson to Schmidt?? Yikes!
The same Cam Johnson who turned down 7 figures to come to LSU, yes
He went from 7 figures to $150k in 3 years in college
Why? Because throwing hard isnt everything, far from it

Which is dead zone. Doesn’t mean it’s not moving, just that the shape isn’t extreme in either direction so it won’t fool people.

I didn’t engage in the Logan Schmidt ceiling debate in the recruiting thread because people either like analytics or absolutely hate it 
You can touch 97 in a showcase and your fastball still not be a dominant pitch. Regardless of what hand you are throwing with. It starts to make perfect sense when you see a guy like Eric Walker throw a 90mph pitch down that middle that blows by someone, then you see several other guys with significantly more velo get hit on anything in the zone.

Sauce: $5MM over three years. Done deal.
There is zero chance this is true. Know someone who donates a lot to the baseball program and Jay isn’t going to allocate more NIL to a true freshman than vets. My guy said Brown wasn’t getting that type of money last year.

As long as the donors that contribute doesn’t dry up we should be good to go. As much as LSU sucked last year I believe that JJ learned a valuable lesson and that will never happen again

Can’t argue the point, huh, son? Until you grow up you may want to sit this one out.

Apparently, you don’t know much about Schmidt. He is not just a hard throwing left-hander. See Cam Johnson.
Far from it. He repeats his delivery far beyond his experience and has a three pitch arsenal that he throws for strikes. Although he is physically mature he obviously will need time adjusting to a grueling SEC schedule.
