Torre: Schmidt's Velocity Is Down
28th May, 2008 - 10:16 am
The Los Angeles Daily News - Dodgers' Manager Joe Torre believes that pitcher Jason Schmidt's velocity is down after he made his third rehabilitation start on Monday night, according to The Los Angeles Daily News.

Torre went on to predict that Schmidt may not regain his normal velocity until sometime next season.

"I think we may not get the best of him until next year," Torre said. "(Until then), I think we'll just get what he is."

"It's more the quality. It's about movement. Velocity is important, but I think he can still pitch as long as he is capable of throwing 89-90 (mph) and keeping people off balance a little bit." [READ]
