Schumaker admitted the transition from the outfield last spring wasn’t very smooth and at times he doubted the move would work.

“It’s going to be a little less embarrassing this spring training,” Schumaker said. “Just routine plays that high schoolers make look easy, I was messing up. Our pitchers pitch to contact, and I didn’t want to be a liability. The biggest worry to me was not being trusted.”

Schumaker finished last spring with five errors. The hard work started paying off and by midseason Schumaker was a lot more comfortable.
