Casey Schmitt

26-Year-Old Second Baseman2B
San Francisco Giants
2025 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Competing for utility role

March 1, 2025
Schmitt went 2-for-3 in Saturday's spring game and is hitting .222 with a .722 OPS in six games. He's battling Brett Wisely, Osleivis Basabe, Jake Lamb and Christian Koss for a utility role this spring, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Schmitt is likely the favorite and the Giants could keep two backup infielders on the roster. Schmitt hit .252 with six homers and a .760 OPS with the Giants last season. Schmitt may have the best glove of the group at third base which could help his case.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
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.

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.
