Michael Salfino on SNY.tv takes a closer look at tonight’s Mets starter, Nelson Figueroa who turned some heads in his impressive debut, where he took a perfect game into the 5th inning.

Salfino tries to analyze the raw data from Figueroa’s last start to better understand how he ranks among the league average.

Salfino gets detailed in the speed and movements of Figueroa’s pitches and concludes that he relies more on sweeping movement than movement up and down the strike zone. His first start shows that he should have success against righties, but it is yet to been seen if he can do the same against left-handed hitters. He will have his chance to prove that tonight against the Nationals.
