By now almost every Mets fan has heard of Long Island native Steven Matz, but not nearly as many have seen him pitch. While I’ve yet to seen him pitch live, I did catch four starts on MiLB.tv (and listened to a bunch more on the radio). Here I have compiled all 28 Matz pitching gifs posted at Astromets Mind during the 2014 season (plus one of him bunting and one great Nimmo catch). Matz features a plus fastball that ranges from 93-95 MPH (though has been clocked as high as 97 MPH), and a changeup and curveball that are rated average-to-above-average (depending on the source). He definitely spent more time working on the curveball in 2014, as he’d establish his fastball/curveball combo early, and while it’s not on the level of a Noah Syndergaard curveball, it’s a very strong pitch. Kiley McDaniels of Fangraphs has his changeup currently ahead of the curveball, but I’d say there pretty even.
I have previously done this for Cesar Puello here, Brandon Nimmo

and Matt Reynolds here.
His windup was the only gifable shot from this game
