2026 Fantasy Outlook
Schmitt started the season in a first base platoon but suffered an oblique injury in mid-April, sidelining him for a month. After returning from the IL, he became the primary third baseman while Matt Chapman was out. In late June, he was hit by a pitch on the hand, leading to another IL stint. After a brief absence, Schmitt played nearly every day, primarily at second base. Despite some skill improvements, his production did not match his Statcast expected numbers. His barrel and hard-hit rates are average, and his strikeout rate is slightly elevated. With similar OPS marks against left- and right-handers, he profiles better as a utility option and struggles in full-time action, so it wasn't a major surprise when the Giants added Luis Arraez to start at second base. Now positioned for a utility role, Schmitt is expected to be healthy by Opening Day after undergoing off-season wrist surgery. Read Past Outlooks

Early homer in loss
2BSan Francisco Giants
May 5, 2026
Schmitt went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 10-5 loss to the Padres.
Analysis
Schmitt homered for the second game in a row when he took Walker Buehler deep in the first inning. Over his last 11 contests, Schmitt is batting .350 (14-for-40) with four homers and 10 RBI. The infielder is hitting .306 with a .914 OPS, six homers, 18 RBI, 14 runs scored and two stolen bases over 30 contests this season. With the addition of prospect Bryce Eldridge to the big-league roster, Schmitt may have to settle for a utility role, but he's hitting well enough to make that a tough daily decision as manager Tony Vitello fills out his lineup card. Schmitt could also push struggling veterans Rafael Devers and Willy Adames for playing time at first base and shortstop, respectively.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2023
Schmitt opened 2024 in the minors and never received consistent opportunities with the Giants, but he performed well at the plate when called upon with six homers and a .760 OPS in 40 games. He also enjoyed a strong campaign at Triple-A Sacramento, where he had 13 home runs, 11 steals and a .271/.340/.466 slash line in 74 contests. He saw action at second base, third base and shortstop, but all three positions are locked down after San Francisco signed Willy Adames in December. Schmitt should open 2025 as a reserve infielder for the Giants and likely won't have a regular role if the big-league infield stays healthy.
A second-round pick in 2020, Schmitt was called up for the first time in May as a replacement for Brandon Crawford. Schmitt ended up bouncing between shortstop (42 games), third base (35 games) and second base (19 games), mostly struggling at the plate until the final day of the season when he hit two home runs. He spent some time back at Triple-A in August and September as the team tried to spark the offense later in the year. Among the 328 big leaguers to see 250-plus plate appearances last season, Schmitt ranked 11th worst by wRC+ (59). While he ended the season on a brief high note, Schmitt is not a lock to start the 2024 season with a regular role. His minor-league track record suggests there may be something here, but most will need to see more before rostering him on a fantasy team.
From May 1 on, Schmitt hit .296/.372/.496 with 19 home runs, a 22.6 K% and a 9.6 BB% in 110 games across High-A, Double-A and Triple-A. He is an excellent defensive third baseman, which is a very important part of his dynasty profile, as he might only need to be a league average hitter to play every day in the majors. Schmitt is not on the 40-man roster yet, so he should spend a good portion of his age-24 season back at Triple-A, refining his approach at the plate.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Option at both 3B and SS
2BSan Francisco Giants
March 9, 2023
Schmitt will continue to get reps at shortstop and might be a long-term answer there for the Giants, per John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle.
Analysis
Schmitt has primarily played third base since the Giants selected him in the second round of the 2020 MLB Draft, but he did see time at short last year in High-A ball and the club's talent evaluators think he has the defensive skills to handle the position. The 24-year-old is on track to make his MLB debut in 2023 after climbing to Triple-A Sacramento for a brief cup of coffee to finish out the 2022 campaign. Maybe he could eventually take over for 36-year-old impending free agent shortstop Brandon Crawford in San Francisco.
