RHP Phil Humber pitched 6 solid innings tonight for St Lucie Mets. Coach Gary Carter and Coach Ricky Bones seemed very pleased with his work on bump tonight in front of several thousand rip-roaring "Friday Night" dedicated Metsie fans. Phil the Deal yielded no earned runs with a few scattered hits.
His fastballs were 90-94MPH cruising even though he touched 95 several times with 93MPH FBs in his last inning of work(6th). CBs very effective in 80MPH range with good pitchability. Mechanics were solid and I can tell somebody has worked long and hard with this fine looking prospect with much potential.
Worthy of Mention here because of TX interests who requested this report which I am happy to give for those folks back home. Peace, Shep

Thanks Shep. Humber is also a great guy! That doesn't always show up in the box score.
It is worth mentioning that Humber came off of Tommy John surgery less than a year ago. He came back quicker than most. I wish nothing but the best for him.

Congrats to Phil Humber on yet another quality outing with 10 Ks and one walk in his most recent start. Way to go Phil!! Getting ready to head back EAST, but would like to compliment Jerry Ford and his superb organization, Perfect Game, for yet another outstanding event here in San Diego at the Aflac All-American HS baseball game. Way to go boss! See you in Jupiter, for sure! peace
