Experimentation Sunday went about as smoothly as Max Scherzer could have wanted.
There was the experiment of wearing the PitchCom on his glove, allowing the Mets co-ace to call signals to his catcher instead of vice versa. There was the opportunity to pitch with runners on base. But mostly there was a chance to begin tinkering with how Scherzer could useScherzer had been planning for this since last spring, when it became evident the game was headed for such a change.
Scherzer added: “I can work extremely quickly or I can work extremely slow. There is another layer here to be able to mess with the hitter’s timing.”After Michael Chavis had already used a timeout in the second inning, Scherzer stood on the rubber with the ball, ready to throw a pitch the moment Chavis looked up. After the inning was over Scherzer consulted with home plate umpire David Rackley just to ensure the pitcher was interpreting the rules correctly.
For Scherzer, it was an opportunity to work in a game for the first time with Omar Narvaez behind the plate. Scherzer provided the signals to Narvaez through the PitchCom on his glove. It was the first time Scherzer had given signals instead of receiving them from the catcher.
