Max Meyer, Marlins pitcher, impressed in his return to the mound after Tommy John surgery, throwing two shutout innings with 2 strikeouts. His fastball reached 95.6 mph, and he had 3 whiffs on 7 swings with his slider. Meyer's slider was described as 'disgusting' by observers. The Marlins see Meyer as a starter, though some scouts project him as a late-inning reliever. Meyer expressed confidence in his slider and discussed the 'long process' of returning to the mound.
