Schmidt's got a hell of a slider and a changeup that can give batters fits, since he throws pretty hard and with a lot of movement on the fastball and slider. He's relying on the fastball so far, missing with the slider to give Scott Podsednik the early advantage in his first at-bat. An overthrown fastball bounces past catcher Trey Lunsford to swing the count to two balls, no strikes. Needing a strike, Schmidt delivers a fastball on the inside half, Podsednik takes a decent hack but gets under it, lofting a pop fly to center field. Can of corn for CF Randy Winn, two away in the top of the first.
