Listen "John Schmidt, Oakdale High Baseball Coach"
Episode Synopsis
In his first season of coaching the Oakdale High baseball team, John Schmidt is this week's guest on the Final Score Podcast.
Schmidt chats with host Greg Swatek about the recent no-hitter thrown by his senior ace JP Shultz against arguably the top offensive team in Frederick County, Urbana. He talks about what makes Shultz such an effective pitcher despite not having over-powering stuff, what that moment was like for him and the team once the final out of the no-hitter was recorded and what sort of future potential he has as Shultz heads off to play in college next year at the University of Charleston (West Virginia).
The coach also discusses how he got the job at Oakdale and why it was such a desirable position for him. And he also talks about his background as a player, donning the uniform for Catholic University, his close relationship with his brother and how and why he got into coaching. Prior to arriving at Oakdale, Schmidt coached for 15 years and established credibility with the program at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School.
Prior to that discussion, FNP sports writer Alexander Dacy joins Greg to talk about what Frederick County teams are state-title contenders in baseball, softball and boys and girls lacrosse.
