MLB: Will Yankees pitcher prospect Clarke Schmidt finally be healthy in 2022?

The right-handed pitcher Clarke schmidt, one of the most prominent pitching prospects of the New York Yankees, has been limited to just 12 2/3 innings, due in large part to an elbow injury that left him on the sidelines for much of 2021. Schmidt tells The Athletic’s Lindsey Adler about his injury, a strain which he described as “basically the same as tennis elbow.”

He just didn’t respond like us. I expected it and it took forever to get it right. ”

Once he finally recovered, Schmidt was able to throw 38 minor league ball innings and then 6 1/3 innings with the Yankees at the MLB level, and more importantly, he says he feels healthy heading into the 2022 season. .

However, already some adjustments have been made to your training plan offseason, as Schmidt feels overwork led to last year’s injury:

I just hit the gas too early and learned my lesson. “

It seems New York will start with Schmidt at Triple-A to give him a bit more experience (he only has 25 2/3 innings of Triple-A ball under his belt), but for a Yankees club that can always use the depth of His pitchers, Schmidt could be an important arm to reckon with as the season progresses.

I am fond of the King of Sports, especially the Boston Red Sox in MLB and in general all of Mexican baseball. This profession has given me the opportunity to cover major events such as the Caribbean Series, the LMB All Star, LMP (uninterrupted since 2009), signings of important players. I had the chance to attend the 2013 World Classic in Arizona, USA, albeit as a fan. Apart from this beautiful sport, I love basketball, where I have also narrated games and even an NBA friendly 10 years ago, but I carry baseball in my veins. Graduated in Communication Sciences from the Autonomous University of Sinaloa (UAS) , from which I graduated in 2011. I was born in Mazatlán, Sinaloa and started in the world of sports journalism in 2004 in the newspaper El Sol de Mazatlán, where I was a baseball columnist and reporter at the same time. In January 2009 I came to El Debate as a journalist reporter and it was almost six years (in the first stage), until in November 2014 I emigrated to the radio providing my services in Línea Directa-Grupo RSN. My cycle there ended in July 2019 and within days, El Debate gave me another opportunity to work and opened the doors for me again. That is how I came to Al Bat, where I have been since 2019 as a web journalist.
