Hitting
In past seasons, Schmucker has been a bit of a liability with men on base. The book on Schmucker is that you can knock the bat out of his hands with an average major league fastball. Schmucker always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.
Baserunning & Defense
Schmucker doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a couple bases each season without getting caught very often. When you play Schmucker you're not putting him in for his glove. His arm is accurate enough.
2025 Outlook
Schmucker isn't cutting the mustard in the low minors. It's time for Arlie to investigate other career options, like coaching highschool ball.
