Kamau Schmiege  
Left Fielder | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
Schmiege never has been a patient hitter. Schmiege always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.

Baserunning & Defense
Schmiege doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a few bases each season without getting caught very often. When you play Schmiege you're not putting him in for his glove. His arm is accurate enough.

2025 Outlook
Schmiege has below average skills, even for the low minors. One has to expect the Retired or Inactive Players will give him his walking papers before the end of the season.
