So how should we evaluate Schmidt’s performance so far this season?
Schmidt’s won-lost record in the regular season if we were evaluating his performance (for every game) regardless of the win or loss result likely would be 0-3.
His won-lost record in Spring Training if we were evaluating his performance (for every game) regardless of the win or loss result likely would be 3-3.
So based off of his performance (regardless of the win or loss result), Schmidt is 3-6 this season and again that also just happens to be the Yankees won-lost record this season in games Schmidt has pitched in so far this season!
By this standard, Schmidt hasn’t even had a winning performance (regardless of the win or loss result) since his March 16 game when he pitched five innings (the most innings pitched he has thrown in a game so far this season)!
So Schmidt has had five straight losing performances, he has given up more than half the runs in four of his last five starts, and if he has a bad outing on Tuesday (or whenever his next game is) it will be his sixth straight losing performance!
Before Thursday’s games on April 13, 2023, his performance regardless of the win or loss result for any one specific game for the entire regular season so far is ranked 13th on the Yankees!
