Helping Clarke Schmidt get lefties out

By now, it’s well-known that Clarke Schmidt struggles facing lefties. Actually, that’s putting it mildly. He can’t get them out. This is quite a quandary for the Yankees as they do not have the luxury of expelling him from the rotation for the foreseeable future with Carlos Rodón, Luis Severino, and Frankie Montas all injured. Therefore, it is in pitcher and franchise’s best interests that he be given every tool available to not only make it through more than one turn of a major league lineup, but also to do so while keeping his team in the game.
