Despite navigating through some traffic on the bases, Schmidt managed to limit the damage and secure his second win of the season. His performance this season has been a mixed bag, characterized by a solid 3.55 ERA but a concerning 1.46 WHIP, largely due to a .375 BABIP, indicating some bad luck with balls in play. His strong strikeout rate of 10.3 K/9 continues to make him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues that reward strikeouts, but managers should be wary of potential volatility in his starts due to the high number of baserunners.

Clarke Schmidt delivered a quality start, allowing just one earned run on seven hits while striking out seven across 5 1/3 innings in the Yankees' 5-3 victory over the Rays on Friday.

Despite a high WHIP and BABIP that suggest he's been somewhat lucky to maintain a decent ERA, Schmidt's performance this season continues to be a mixed bag for fantasy managers. His high strikeout rate (10.4 K/9) remains a tantalizing asset, but the elevated WHIP (1.55) and BABIP (.404) indicate potential volatility in his future outings. Fantasy managers should consider him a risky play, depending on the matchup, as inconsistency might be part of his profile this season.

Clarke Schmidt turned in an outing with mixed results on the mound in the first game of a doubleheader against the Guardians Saturday.

Schmidt allowed one earned run on three hits and struck out seven, but also issued five walks in five innings on the mound to escape with a win in a 3-2 triumph over the Guardians Saturday afternoon. The right-hander will look to recapture his control from his first start this season, walking at least three in each of his last two starts on the mound for the Yankees. The 28-year-old hurler benefits from an explosive Yankees lineup and can be considered a solid starting option for fantasy managers when on the mound.

In a high-scoring affair that saw the New York Yankees edge out the Toronto Blue Jays 9-8, Clarke Schmidt's outing on the mound left plenty to be desired.

Schmidt, who lasted just over four innings, allowed six hits and three walks while only striking out four. The 28-year-old has offered mixed results on the mound to begin the season as part of a rotation missing ace Gerrit Cole, recording at least four strikeouts while also allowing at least six hits in both of his starts. The right-handed hurler will look to miss more opposing bats as the season continues in an attempt to provide manager Aaron Boone with a reliable option at the back end of the starting staff moving forward.

Clarke Schmidt reportedly has a new split-changeup.

Schmidt said he modeled his new pitch after Kevin Gausman. He figures to throw the changeup more this season as a result.
