Still, I agree he is an injury risk. If not arm fatigue then his annual groin injury is a strong possibility. But don't forget, Schmidt is pitching for a big contract, which means he worked extra hard in the offseason and will do everything in his power to keep this pace up.

Even in his 2005 season his K rate and HR rate were strong and his Hit rate was fine....so he never collapsed... HOWEVER... HE IS AVERAGING 114 PITCHES PER START AND HAS ONLY REACHED 30 STARTS IN A SEASON ONCE IN HIS 4 FULL SEASONS WITH THE GIANTS!! To put this in perspective, only 1 pitcher in all of MLB averaged more than 109 pitches per start....Livan Hernandez at 114.5 per... I won't be surprised if he ends up on the DL or loses effectiveness sometime this season. I've never had much interest in him in fantasy leagues because he is an injury risk but I appreciate how much talent he has.

He def. looks like the Schmidt of old though, and Im surprised he bounced back like this. It’s pretty crazy that he’s so good with just 2 pitches.
