Looks like Scott Kazmir won’t be reuniting with the Mets.
He had his tryout and unfortunately he was not able to hit over 88 MPH with his fastball. Some scouts seem to have him at 91 but all the guns are different so who knows. Scott Kazmir did have other pitches so maybe he learned to use them effectively but you never know until he gets the chance to prove it.
Dillon Gee barely hits 90 but he’s very effective.
Looks like Rick Peterson and others were right about Kazmir getting injured at some point. He did have some very good years before the injury however.
Kazmir might be a good low risk, high reward guy for some team. I would sign him to a minor league deal and see if he ever gets it back. Or let him go get PRP, it worked for Bartolo Colon.
