Mike Foltynewicz is the next Max Scherzer
I just wanted to create this thread so I can look back on it 2-3 years from now to see if I was right or wrong.
I think Mike Foltynewicz has a reasonable chance to be the next Scherzer. He seems to be getting slightly better each year. He has a plus fastball and very good slider (not Scherzer good but still good), his control is improving, and he throws harder as the game goes on, occasionally touching 99-100 late in the game.
Scherzer's first notable season was 2012, when he was 27-28 years old. I could see Folty's career taking a similar track.
That's all. Cool story bro, etc.
