it was all mental for Schmidt

he was very good in midweek and then would fall apart in SEC play.

But your right the key is throwing his breaking balls for strikes. If teams can’t just lay off those his FB plays much better

He was so impressive today. Complete command of all his pitches. He also seems so calm and composed his last couple of outings.

He is even locating his fastball better. Last year he was pretty much a 1 pitch guy, really good to see him progress.

Yes, it was good to see him go long. His change ups have a tendency to get in the dirt though. He’s just gotta keep getting better. Today was a good day for him.
