He was the highest rated player to ever come to LSU and ranked 5th in country overall.

What would a first rounders expectations be in year 3 in the teams organization?
A good hometown comp, Aaron Nola, was a year and half into his mlb career at year 3

Ok but not that many draft picks different, hypothetically. And how do you expect your first rounders to progress? I guess it’s all case by case but my point is Schmidt doesn’t seem to be progressing at the amateur level as a first rounder should at the professional level

Cam Caminiti has moved about as fast as a HS draftee pitcher can move and he’s in High A right now.
Compared to a top 6 from 2025 Seth Hernandez who just got promoted to high A.
Most guys from the 2024 draft are in low A.

Worst projected top 5 pick since Riley Pint. Massive bust
I’m not opining on Schmidt’s performance at LSU, but I’ve been trying to follow this thread and it’s been difficult since posters are talking about different things, yet wanting to argue.

I don’t. But I already told you I’m not arguing that point because it’s subjective and you’re a moron so it won’t go anywhere.

If you’ve ever had back spasms…. You’d understand. It sucks.

Just an anecdotal example, William Schmidt is not progressing nearly at the rate of Aaron Nola while at LSU, an exponentially lower draft pick out of highschool
Do you think LSU will improve Williams Schmidt’s draft stock? If you don’t then it’s hard to argue he wasn’t over rated

From a prospect standpoint, Nola would have been considered high floor while Schmidt would be considered high ceiling.
And development isn’t linear.

Both drafted out of the same high school from Baton Rouge, both chose to go to lsu, one did exponentially better at lsu than the other and is in year 11 of his mlb career
Just look at their lsu stats if you don’t believe me, William Schmidt is laughable for a lauded first round pick out of highschool

In the last 4 drafts, so since 2022, there has been 1 HS pitcher drafted who has pitched in the big leagues, and that was a 2022 draftee, and he made his debut this year.

Aaron Nola never had an era over 3.7 (as a freshman), William Schmidt is over rated as frick, which was the entire point of my post

Aaron Nola played in a different era of bats and balls and didn’t face a bunch of teams made up only of 24 year old 5th year seniors with 200 games of college experience.
Just like with the pros, you have to adjust for era.

William Schmidt isn’t going to win any awards, if you want to use that as a metric if you’re trying to put everyone on a level playing field re: balls and bats ? How were his stats compared to other sec starters?

He’s already got one that Nola doesn’t.

Every news publication saying he turned down millions of dollars bc he was going to be a first round pick out of highschool, which was the general consensus of everyone including people on this board and stated in this thread
