Phillies third baseman Cody Asche revealed to reporters that he worked in Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt's hitting group throughout spring training, and has been able to apply what he learned during games, per the Philadelphia Inquirer.
"It was a lot of hitting stuff. We talked the game a lot," Asche said. "It's not like I can point out one thing. I think we both have respect for each other and willingness to learn from each other. I was glad I was able to pick his brain."
Asche is hitting .255/.280/.489 with two doubles, no home run and eight RBI over 47 Grapefruit League at-bats. He had gone four consecutive games with at least a hit before being held hitless against Tampa Bay on Thursday.
