Steven Matz’s official final grade:
C
Interesting note about Matz: he received a vote for each grade (A, B, C and D). Only he and Aaron Civale had that honor in this Challenge.
Then there’s Mahle. He was the third hardest one to guess at 36% success rate. Kudos to those who rated him as a Grade C. I know I didn’t.
Don’t forget, you can now order the 2021 season now via APBA GO.
7 out of 16. I have usually given a higher grade with Giolito being the exception.
