Donald (DJ) Schmidt is a 2018 OF/2B with a 6-0 165 lb. frame from St. Paul, MO who attends Ft. Zumwalt North HS. Medium frame with a lean, athletic build. Projects for additional size and strength. Ran a 7.03 sixty-yard dash. Primary outfielder with smooth, athletic actions while closing to the baseball. Clean glove actions while funneling the baseball out front and working through. Generated good momentum to target with a crow hop gather and released from a compact three-quarters arm slot. Throws produced some on line carry to the bag topping at 73 miles per hour. Left handed hitter with an upright, open stance and simple leg lift trigger. Creates good lower half shift into contact with linear actions. Hands launch on an inside path to contact and generated occasional lift through extension. Works best to the middle of the field with a line drive approach, but did flash the ability to turn the barrel and work to pull side with some pop. Tools will continue to develop with physical maturity.
