Mike Schmidt Finds Calm Batting For Phillies In 1974
The 24 year old Dayton native and former Ohio University All American has shifted to a relaxed plate style. Through 60 games in 1974 he churned 16 homers 46 RBI and a .315ish average while claiming better plate discipline aided by a winter ball stint. Teammate Dave Cash praises his discipline and potential as Schmidt targets 30 homers 100 RBI and a .300 season.
