Here is Nathan Dettmer's slider in, well, visual form. Just filthy.

                Much will be made of Texas A&M RHP Nathan Dettmer touching 99 this fall, but we're buying into his draft stock because of the slider. It's a legitimate weapon w/velocity (82-84/t86) w/huge sweep (14" avg). Dettmer has the chance to be a 4-pitch guy with two *plus* weapons

38. Nathan Dettmer, RHP, Texas A&M – Dettmer was a key arm for the Aggies in their run to Omaha a season ago lifting him from off the radar to a legitimate draft prospect. His fastball can get into the upper 90s with a heavy downhill plane but his best offering is his massive slider, although it is very inconsistent. He also has a change that has plenty of potential that gives him a quality starter mix to go with a prototypical starter frame. Consistency is key as he does not have the track record and the stuff can be so spotty in terms of being on from one game to the next, but a good season and Dettmer could make himself a lot of money.

11-10-22 - 2022 Fall Report: Texas A&M - https://d1baseball.com/fall-report/texas-am-2022/ - 

Junior righthanded pitcher Nathan Dettmer is expected to take a big step forward. Dettmer had his fair share of ups down last season, but the frame is excellent at 6-foot-4, 235 pounds and the stuff is elite at times. Dettmer was up to 98-99 mph with his fastball this fall but will pitch more comfortably in the low-to-mid 90s with the heater. He also continues to make strides with the changeup and the slider. Dettmer threw two variations of a breaking ball last season, and at times, the sharper low-80s breaker was a plus offering. It was not consistent, however. Dettmer still has some improvements to make, but if everything comes together, he could see himself rising the prospect ranks even more.

Nathan Dettmer

Texas A&M

Dettmer, a hero for Texas A&M in the 2022 college baseball playoffs, is more than a folk hero. A prototype frame, Dettmer can rush the fastball up into the upper-90s with mega sink out of an extremely high slot, but it's his slider, changeup combo that gets the headlines. The slider is above average-to-plus with two-plane break and considerable depth. The changeup has some fading action that can be effective against lefty bats, although it's mostly a roll-em-over offering. Dettmer doesn't yet have the consistency with his pitches to call anyything a true weapon, but he's got the build and clay teams covet when selecting college arms early on day two.
