In 1996, he was a part of playing in the Braves rotation, but also played in Richmond as well as on the disabled list until being traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates (with Ron Wright) in exchange for Denny Neagle on August 30 the 30th of August, 1996.
Schmidt and his wife Bethany have three children: Makynlee (born January 14, 2001), Mason (born January 29, 2004), and Madden (born April 22, 2007). Schmidt’s mother Vicki died from brain cancer on April 22, 2003 at age 53.
Schmidt was then acquired by the Giants in 2001 with John Vander Wal in exchange for Armando Ríos and Ryan Vogelsong. Schmidt saw more success in San Francisco. Between his stints in Pittsburgh and San Francisco during the 2001 season, Schmidt compiled thirteen wins. Schmidt re-signed as a free agent with San Francisco that winter, in what would become a five-year $41 million deal. He went on to win thirteen again in 2002 when the Giants made a World Series appearance, but lost to the Anaheim Angels. Schmidt started Games 1 and 5 of the 2002 World Series, picking up the win in Game 1 and a no-decision in Game 5. In 2003, he won 17 games. Schmidt threw a 2–0 shutout in Game 1 of the 2003 NLDS, beating Josh Beckett, but his team lost once again in the playoffs, this time to the Florida Marlins. Schmidt was an All-Star this year as well as the league leader with a 2.34 earned run average. He placed second to Éric Gagné in the 2003 National League Cy Young Award voting.
Schmidt made his MLB debut as a relief pitcher on the 28th April 1995 with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Schmidt scored his first ML win in his first start by pitching eight scoreless inning with the Chicago Cubs on September 3 on the 3rd of September, 1995.
Schmidt was a student at Kelso High School located in Kelso, Washington, where the team played basketball and football along with baseball. As a senior in 1991, Schmidt threw a no-hitter, throwing out 20 of the 21 batters who he had to face. He was awarded by Washington’s Gatorade State Player of the Year as well as All-State MLB MVP. It was his turn to receive a college scholarship to Arizona’s University of Arizona but chose to join the Atlanta Braves after they drafted him in the eighth round of the 1991 MLB Draft.
As a member of the Pirates, Schmidt won 10, 11, and 13 games in 1997, 1998, and 1999, respectively. However, he was on a losing team each season in Pittsburgh. He was the last player on the team to wear number 42, as all of Major League Baseball retired it for Jackie Robinson in 1997, except those who chose to keep the number (e.g. Mariano Rivera).

Schmidt signed a three-year, $47 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers prior to the 2007 season. After only three starts he missed forty-five days with a right shoulder injury before being reactivated from the disabled list (DL) on June 5. He started three games after his return from the DL, the last two created more concern. On June 18 he was returned to the DL and underwent exploratory surgery to find the cause of his ineffectiveness. The damage to his shoulder was more severe than expected and he missed the rest of the 2007 season due to injury. The Dodgers hoped to have Schmidt back before the end of the 2008 season, but manager Joe Torre later said that Schmidt would not be back, making only a few rehab starts in the minors during the year.
Heading into 2009, Schmidt was expected to compete for a spot in the Dodgers’ rotation but pitched poorly in spring training and began the season once more on the disabled list. After several rehab starts in the minors, Schmidt was activated on July 20, 2009, to start against the Cincinnati Reds, his first appearance in a Major League game since 2007. He went five innings, allowed three runs and picked up the win. He made another start on July 26 against the Florida Marlins, but pitched poorly allowed five runs (four earned) in three innings and was credited with the loss. He started against the Atlanta Braves on July 31 and pitched six shutout innings, getting the win as the Dodgers won 5–0. On August 7, he was again placed on the DL, with Torre speculating that Schmidt’s career might be over.
