Jason Schmidt  
Starting Pitcher | Milwaukee Brewers

Pitching
He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. His curveball is solid; he throws it better than your average starter. His fastball is just average, and therefore he relies heavily on placing it in different parts of the strike zone or setting it up with his curveball. Schmidt also has a decent changeup. The Milwaukee Brewers hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He shows a good pickoff move and never lets runners detract from his pitching. Schmidt expects to be an active participant in the infield defense and does a good job of getting to grounders back up the middle. Schmidt is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Schmidt has some pop in his swing.

2010 Outlook
I really like what this guy brings to the table.
