First time we had seen Meyers after hearing about him and much like Marrero, he did not disappoint. Meyers showed an electric arm as the fastball seemed to really jump out of the hand. The pitch showed late life at 84-86, topping 87 mph. The breaking ball was commanded well at 76-77 mph and took hard slider action with some downward tilt. The change up was thrown with the same arm speed and tumbled into RH hitters at 78- 79 mph. Love the demeanor on the mound and he has a feel for how to pitch. Very projectable.
