KYLE SCHMIDT
Current Catcher - Minnesota Twins
Originally from Smithville, TX, Kyle has had a passion for catching his entire life. After High School, Kyle attended the University of Richmond and became a starter for the Spider Baseball Team. Kyle received his degree from UR in May of 2019.
Following his 2019 season, Kyle was drafted in the 33rd Round of the 1st Year Player Draft by the Minnesota Twins. Kyle finished up the 2022 season with the Wichita Wind Surge (Class AA).
Kyle brings his professional mindset to catching instruction where he encourages modern catching techniques that are used at the highest levels – one knee setups and high-level receptions are his specialty.
That said, Kyle strives to build foundational catchers who are proficient in all aspects of the position. With an understanding of the mechanics of the catching position, players will become familiar with and improve their mobility, receiving, throwing, blocking, setup, and mentality.
Kyle will resume in-person instruction in the fall of 2023. Remote training for catchers and hitters is offered on a limited basis within The Futures App.
