Report: Schneider Mentoring Thole

by Michael Baron on September 6th, 2009 at 5:29 pm

Marty Noble, in his column for Mets.com, says that Brian Schneider has become a mentor for Josh Thole and is working closely with Sandy Alomar Jr. to develop Thole’s skill behind the plate.

Schneider recognizes his reduced role with the Mets but still feels that he can help the team by teaching Thole, telling Noble:

“He just needs experience. He’s young in catcher years…Maybe I can tell him something that will cut down how much he needs. He works hard, and when you tell him something, he doesn’t blow it off. He does ask questions, and you can tell by what he asks what he knows and that he wants to learn.”
