Dude no, Nola was a golden Spikes finalist at lsu, Schmidt will never sniff that

1. You have no idea what 2027 William Schmidt looks like.

2. No one in this thread but you is comparing him to Aaron Nola.

3. Comparing a first year starter to a top 3 pitcher in school history is retarded.

I also see how you completely ignored my post showing his improvement because it doesn't fit into your "high upside pitcher with great stuff didn't produce like an MLB all star on day 1" narrative.

Literally the whole point of the thread, he was a first round pick who is middle of the road in the sec in year 2

the point of the thread was to say Schmidt is a bust because he hasn't become Aaron Nola?

What a lot of these retards fail to understand is that the issue is with their own expectations. They’re angry at these guys because they didn’t live up to their expectations. Expectations that were based on half truths and apparently just fricking geography in the case of Schmidt. And somehow it’s the players fault that the fan is ill informed.


So William Schmidt is not over rated and I’m the retard? Lmfao

He pitched 3.2 innings in 2025?

In SEC play plus the postseason, yes

No I don’t and I hope I’m wrong but I’m willing to bet he will have right around the average era of the 8th best team in the sec

He improved from 4.7 to 4.2 ERA, that is no way “exponentially better,” which is my whole point, he was touted as a first round pick who is very mediocre in year 2. Aaron Nola, who went to literally the same high school and college and was also drafted out of highschool, although much lower, went from a 3.6 ERA his freshman year to a 1.6 era his sophomore year, which is an actual exponential improvement from year 1 to 2


Good God He had that ERA last year mostly pitching mid week games. He could barely get through an inning in SEC play and didn’t get that many because he just wasn’t ready for it.

That ERA this year was as a fricking SEC starter. And he had to be moved up from Sunday, where he was a good fit, to Saturday and even Friday while Evans missed 2 weeks. I love how you just completely ignore all of rhis. Or are so casual that you are completely unaware of it.

fricking hell.

Schmidt was a higher rated recruit than freaking Dylan Crews.
Because Schmidt had a great senior year, threw 97, had elite spin, and Dylan Crews had a bad summer, didn't have a senior year, and had a ton of swing and miss in his game.

This isn't football. Baseball players, especially pitchers, are ranked purely on traits. It's a different universe. You can't look at PG rankings and correlate them directly to performance.

Why do you think one was a small sample size and one was a large sample size?

You mean like comparing a college sophomore whose career isn’t over to a guy in the major leagues?

Why are you comparing them? Schmidt was average/below average of all his peers in the sec

No Project, that's different. They both went to Catholic so they have to be the same player.

Speaking of, why wasn't Jack Ruckert a freshman All American this year? He and Josh Smith took the exact same path, so anything short of MLB starter is a failure.

When the stats are when they’re both sophomores at the same school?

William Schmidt sophomore at lsu: 4.2 era

Aaron Nola sophmore at lsu: 1.56 era

You comparing ERAs from 2013 to now is like comparing home run totals from 2012 to 1997

Because you said he hadn't improved. Despite that burden being on you, I felt like being nice and correcting you. Because you're retarded.

He went from being unpitchable to being a good starter who then had to move up and down in the rotation.

Doing that, in the SEC, is exponential improvement.
