I easily that was attached to that had me shaking my head.<br />SNY put up a graphic of the top pitchers as far as average fastball goes. Syndergaard was #1 in the majors. Harvey was #2. deGrom was the 3rd Met starter and I think #6 in the majors. Fulmer is right there with deGrom maybe a little more velocity. So like you said he has some serious arm strength. He also has some serious late movement.<br />Richard Jones Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-73168373231745704992015-07-23T19:04:26.791-04:002015-07-23T19:04:26.791-04:00We are in desperate need of another power pitcher!...We are in desperate need of another power pitcher!

I have not personally seen it either. Like you, I've typically seen mid-90s with the ability to reach back for more and have reported as such. I haven't seen anyone reporting that he's throwing 99 regularly, merely touching it on occasion. Regardless, that's some serious arm strength.

Since he was called up I have been watching the Fulmer games. I think the Syndergaard comparison is a good one. His velocity is more like deGrom's but his command isn't what deGrom's is. In the games I watched Fulmer has a very nasty slider. The action on it kind of reminds me of Familia's.In the comparisons I'm not saying he is as good has those pitchers just that parts of his game reminds me of those other pitchers.<br />I keep seeing that he throw 99 easy. In the 6 games I watched I never saw him reach 99. I can't say for sure in never did but he does not hit that velocity easy. Someone is trying to build a Sis Finch myth. He hits 94-96 regularly. Like Matz or deGrom. That is plenty for success as those two have demonstrated. He is inconsistent with his command and there is where I see the Syndergaard comparison. I would hate to see him traded but you do have to give in order to get. The Mets need to get.<br />Richard Jones Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-352814007140469922015-07-23T12:57:36.644-04:002015-07-23T12:57:36.644-04:00Fulmer could be a huge trade chip, but maybe we ke...Fulmer could be a huge trade chip, but maybe we keep him and trade Wheeler instead. Fulmer is really starting to look like he'll be a legit rotation arm, and could come fast. DeGrom did.

I think Lew's 3B idea makes a ton of sense. If Conforto is basically ready now, give Gavin another 50 games this season and maybe he'd be ready for opening day 2016. Let's see how hot he stays.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-25899159594014995222015-07-23T12:13:24.401-04:002015-07-23T12:13:24.401-04:00I am so overwhelmingly positive about Michael Fulm...I am so overwhelmingly positive about Michael Fulmer. Cannot say enough good things. <br /><br />Lew, I really never even considered it but you're right he does have the arm. Wow what a connection. I'm impressed. Write a piece on it? It's a great suggestion if Wright is down for the count.
