The third chapter of the 2023 Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List is in the books, and it’s a fitting one, as it featured a third baseman. After winning 49% of the vote in a four-player field, Casey Schmitt has been voted as the No. 3 prospect in the San Francisco Giants organization.
Schmitt, who turns 24 in March, was one of the breakout stars of 2022, after starting his career as a mid-level prospect. He was ranked No. 21 in his inaugural CPL and No. 24 last year. But after the season he just had, a spot near the top was inevitable.
