Full overhead windup, uptempo delivery, stab down, loose and easy, slot is a tick below three quarters. There's late acceleration with some torque and whack. You can see why there was reliever risk here in...uh...2007. |

The best 94 mph fastball you will ever see. Moves in and out well. Feels like 98 when he's locating. Just playing catch. Could dominate this level with just this pitch if he wanted. |

The best here were the kind of pitches that will make a 23-year-old role 4 consider a career change. The slider is just there and then it isn't. The radar gun and ultimate position of the glove tells you what it was. It's too late for you and too late for the hitter. He did at times struggle with the shape and command of the pitch. I do not consider this a long term concern |

Didn't really have the good cutter, eschewed it some to lefties in favor of the curve and change, tough to gauge on rehab. Previous looks suggest it's at least plus |

Tunnels well off fastball, like slider just disappears late, not as consistent. but regularly showed plus-plus power fade |

Pops it in 10-5 with enough depth. Shows a little early for true plus grade. |
Yeah, it's Max Scherzer. This was cool.
