So if you're 6-foot-6 and throw 100 mph with a 92-mph slider and a changeup that's unfair and sometimes a slow curveball when you really want to be a cruel, how do you get better? If you're the New York Mets' Noah Syndergaard, you work on improving your two-seam fastball to add another dimension to your game. During Sunday night's 5-2 victory over the Marlins, we saw evidence that Syndergaard is a good bet to raise his game to another level -- and this from a pitcher who had a 2.60 ERA last season.
It seems odd to say for a guy who throws as hard as Syndergaard, but there is actually room for his fastball to become more dominant.
