Mets left-handed pitching prospect Steven Matz struck out six in six innings, allowing six hits, one walk, and two runs for High-A St. Lucie on Monday. Matz uses a mid-90s fastball with heavy sink as his main weapon, pairing it with an inconsistent change-up and curve ball to dominate hitters. He missed nearly two full seasons due to complications coming back from Tommy John surgery, but has dominated the low minors over the past two seasons. The 23-year old Matz could be promoted to Double-A Binghamton soon, where he would be forced to rely on his fastball less and use his secondary pitches more. The Mets will continue to develop him as a starter, but his lack of consistent secondary pitches could turn him into a power lefty who comes out of the bullpen.
