For those wondering what the best pitcher on the planet looks like on paper...

FA at 99.1 mph (Grade 75) with 8.7" of rise (Grade 50) and 5.0" of arm-side run (Grade 50) is one of the best FAs in the game, and he maintains it over the course of a full outing. That's a Grade 70 or better pitch.

SL at 94.9 mph (Grade 80+) with 0.9" of rise (Grade 55) and 3.0" of glove-side run (Grade 50+) is probably the hardest slider in the game, or maybe it's a cutter with lot's of break? Either way, it's a plus-plus pitch or better based on it's power breaking nature.

Oh by the way, the CH comes in 8 mph slower than the FA (Grade 55) with 8.0" of arm-side run (Grade 50+) and 0.4" of rise (Grade 65+). That's a a plus pitch with major downward action.

To top it all off, he walks like 1-2 batters per 9, which grades out as 80+ command.

So he's basically a lockdown closer with a CH in his back pocket for emergencies plus elite command...and he maintains it over bulk innings. So imagine facing absolute peak Kimbrel for 5-7 innings.

All with a batting-average nearly twice as high as the next nearest Met.

[thewupk]

no perfect game today

[50PoundHead]

Baseball gods laugh at DeGrom and have him walk the pitcher. Payback for opposing pitchers having about a 1.000 OPS against us.

[jsebe10]

Mueller has done his job so far.

[TURBO]

unlucky there

[Hudson2]

Just our luck lol

[thewupk]

we got ****ed hard
