Matt throws a plus slider, but the fastball is his foremost pitch.

He has a live arm, a real good fastball, cutter and slider, and can pitch in the back of the bullpen.

Good players like Matt don't have two bad years in a row. He really put too much pressure on himself in his draft year.

We needed Rich to throw that fastball down in the zone better when we have a lead like that late in the game.

He's missing with his fastball, and he's relying more on his slider,

He's got great command of his slider, ... We always say you have to command your fastball. But he commands his breaking ball about as good as anybody I've ever seen.
