From what I saw tonight, Mathews looks at least as good as Liberatore
Maybe the entire starting pitching staff other than McGreevy.

High hopes for Matthews, but it’s AAA. Most prospects have had dominating games at AAA.

From what I’ve seen, Mathews has control of multiple pitches, and seldom throws the same pitch back-to-back, other than maybe the change up. With his fast ball velocity down a bit, he isn’t throwing it as much, but instead is using it to set up his other pitches.
If he keeps this up for a few more starts, I’d like to see him brought up.

I am a little concerned about his velocity on the fastball.Hoosier59 wrote: ↑07 Aug 2025 20:16 pm From what I’ve seen, Mathews has control of multiple pitches, and seldom throws the same pitch back-to-back, other than maybe the change up.

Folks who haven't watched him this year a lot saw one of Mathews' best games. He's struggled a lot with control.

With the stuff he exhibited last night. It would be interesting to see how it would have played vs an MLB team.ClassicO wrote: ↑07 Aug 2025 20:44 pmMostly 92-93 mpg with occasional 94 or 91.Francis Park Thug wrote: ↑07 Aug 2025 20:39 pmWhat did it reach? {MPH}Shady wrote: ↑07 Aug 2025 20:25 pmI am a little concerned about his velocity on the fastball.Hoosier59 wrote: ↑07 Aug 2025 20:16 pm From what I’ve seen, Mathews has control of multiple pitches, and seldom throws the same pitch back-to-back, other than maybe the change up.

His time will come if he maintains health.
Sept. call up possible. Probably ST is more likely.
