Baseball opening day quarantine edition. Sometimes you just need to the blacktop for some batting practice. My @twins are going to have a big year, and thanks for the Jersey as well! But, I tried to hit like @bryceharper3 and lemme tell ya... didn’t go so well for me. Trying to recreate that swing is tough but still fun to swing the bat a bit 🤪

Lately, Schmidt has been doing yard work on the front of his house and posted pictures on his Instagram account after he failed to remove a stump from the ground.
