The man they call Thor has been ridiculously good so far this season, and the first major eye-popping moment was when his 95 mph slider was unleashed for the first time during the second game of the season in Kansas City.
During the at-bat where the insane slider made its first appearance, Syndergaard threw two other sliders — both at 93 mph — while striking out a flailing Kendrys Morales on three pitches.
While Syndergaard used the slider in 2015, he didn’t use it with much frequency, and it never came in in the mid-90s.
