Through the small sample size of two starts, Clarke Schmidt’s career-long problem is continuing to haunt him.
The Yankees starter added a cutter this offseason in hopes of neutralizing opposing lefty batters, who always have swung well against the righty.Schmidt allowed four runs in 3 ¹/₃ innings on five hits and three walks, putting the Yankees in a 4-0 hole.
Schmidt said he is still pleased with his cutter, which he is leaning upon plenty against lefties, but believes he needs to better learn when to use it.AP “Stuff seemed fine,” manager Aaron Boone said of Schmidt, who could be optioned or moved to the bullpen when Luis Severino and Carlos Rodon return. “Too many mistakes at times, and obviously, the walks hurt him a little bit today.”
They allowed Florial to hit waivers, but no team claimed the 25-year-old, who was the Yankees’ No. 1 prospect in 2019, but has never turned promise into major league production.
