"Before he saved his best stuff for the end, he saved it for Riverside Poly centerfielder Jake Marisnick. In the at-bats between a pair of top 2009 MLB draft prospects, Matzek started Marisnick with a fastball at 94 for a called strike, and then missed with a cutter at 87. He came back with a fastball at 95 for a ball, followed by another 95 fastball that Marisnick fouled back. Matzek missed with a 97 mph fastball up and away, then came back with a 94 mph heater that Marisnick did not hit hard. He grounded out and got down the line in 4.34 seconds."
It didn't take me very long to find that really. Let me know if you would like some more.

Marisnick was selected in the third round, so he is not really an impressive talent for someone as great as Matzek to be facing.
You keep trying to make a point about players the Pirates drafted not being as impressive because they do not throw as hard. Did it not occur to you that pitchers devlop additional velocity as they learn to pitch, especially HS players?
