COLLEGE PARK, Md. – The Maryland baseball team currently has multiple players playing professional baseball. UMTerps.com will periodically update their progress as they go through their respective seasons.
Spotlight: Blake schmit's web gem
Lets get particulars over with real quick. Former Terp Blake Schmit has played this season with the Sioux Falls Canaries of the American Association of Independent Professional Baseball. The shortstop has been sensational, batting .319 with nine double and four home runs.
But enough of that, THIS is what Blake Schmit does.
Saucy. Apparently associate head coach Rob Vaughn was up with his newborn, Wyatt, to see Mr. Schmit's exploits.
