MLB legend visits the Upstate
GREENVILLE COUNTY, S.C. (WSPA) – Former Atlanta Braves John Smoltz visited the Upstate!
Smoltz was spotted Tuesday at the Cliffs at Mountain Park in northern Greenville County.
The MLB Hall of Famer was a participant in the Links Ryder Cup Event.
During the event, 7NEWS SPORTS asked Smoltz his thoughts on a new computerized umpiring system to call balls and strikes that being tested during spring training.
'I'm only in favor of it if its casual. I don't want it all the time,' Smoltz said.
'…so I'm not in favor of it ever replacing umpires but for the egregious calls or the calls that somebody makes as a mistake.'
Smoltz spent 20 of his 21 seasons with the Atlanta Braves.
