Move over Noah Syndergaard, Rafael Montero, Jacob deGrom, Steven Matz and any other young Met pitching prospects and make room for one more strong arm.  Matt Bowman turned in a dazzling NYSEG Stadium debut last night in Binghamton picking up his second victory in as many starts in the young season.

Bowman was brilliant, pitching seven shutout innings against New Hampshire, limiting the Fisher Cats to only four hits while striking out 11 and walking only one.  At one point, the B-Met righty retired 15 batters in a row.  Embedded in that streak were five straight strikeouts.

The 22-year old Bowman was a strike-throwing machine for Binghamton, throwing 68 percent of his 81 pitches for strikes.  The former Princeton University pitcher, who reached 93 mph five times on the radar gun, kept batters off balance by throwing 47 percent of his 55 strikes as off-speed deliveries.  Take a look at Bowman’s pitching breakdown:

Total Pitches:  81   Strikes:  55/68%, Balls:  26/32%

Strike Breakdown:  Called – 22/40%,  Fouled – 3/5%, Missed – 18-33%, In Play – 22%

Full windup:  Total Pitches: 60  Strikes: 41/68%, Balls: 19/32%

Stretch:   Total Pitches: 21  Strikes: 14-67% , Balls: 7/33%

Fastballs:  Total Pitches: 43  Strikes: 29/67%, Balls: 14/33%

Change-ups:   Total Pitches: 15  Strikes: 11/73%, Balls: 4/27%

Curve-balls:   Total Pitches: 19  Strikes: 14/75%, Balls: 5/25%

Sliders:  Total Pitches: 4  Strikes: 1/25%, Balls: 3/75%

First Pitch Strikes: 25  Batters – 16-64%

Ahead in Count After Three Pitches –  16 Batters – 13/81%

Bowman ran into minor troubles in his last inning on the hill.  With one out, Bowman walked Brad Glenn, the cleanup hitter on four pitches.  Andy Burns sent a grounder up the middle that caromed off the pitching rubber into short left field advancing Glenn to second.  After Bowman fanned Gabe Jacobo for the second out of the inning, Yusuf Carter hit a soft grounder in the hole between third and short.  The ball deflected off B-Met shortstop Wilfredo Tovar’s glove a few feet into left field and Tovar gunned down Glenn trying to score for the final out of the inning.

The B-Mets scored a lone run in the first.  Darrell Ceciliani led off the game beating out an infield grounder for a hit.  Brian Burgamy singled to left.  Both runners advanced on a passed ball with Ceciliani racing home on Cory Vaughn’s groundout.

Some Matt Reynolds hustle produced the second Binghamton run in the second.  Reynolds laced a one out single.  A wild pitch got past the Fisher Cat catcher Yusuf Carter and rolled back to the screen.  When Carter had trouble locating the ball and moved casually to retrieve it, a heads up Reynolds advanced to second and then took off for third.  The startled Carter rushed his throw, launching the ball into left field allowing Reynolds to score.  Three Binghamton walks around a second Cecilaini base hit plated another Binghamton run in the inning.

Ceciliani was in the action again opening the Binghamton seventh with a double and later tagging and scoring on Matt Clark’s sacrifice fly.  The B-Met center fielder is now hitting .400 on the season.

John Church replaced Bowman in the eighth with a 1-2-3 inning that included 2 strikeouts.  The Fisher Cats laced back-to-back doubles off B-Met closer Chasen Bradford to plate their only run in the ninth.

Bowman’s outing lowers his ERA to 0.75 with a complimentary 0.75 WHIP over 12 innings of work in the young season.  Bowman has fanned 15 opposing batters and walked only 2.
