What would a video-game pitcher look like?

Having watched Noah Syndergaard ravage the National League like a merciless Norse god for the last two weeks, David Wright remarked Monday night that the New York Mets' de facto ace looks something out of a video game.

"Friends ask me about him," Wright told reporters after his club's 5-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. "I say, 'Think of it this way: When you used to play video games as a kid, if you build the player that you want to build and put all the abilities up to like max 10, he's that guy that you build in the video games - his presence physically, the stuff, the command.'"

Not a bad analogy from the captain, but with all due to respect to Syndergaard - who owns a 0.90 ERA through three starts this year - if someone were to go nuts in "Create a Player" mode, his digital pitcher's arsenal would probably include ...

Aroldis Chapman's four-seamer

Chapman, possibly the most dominant reliever in history, boasts a career 1.67 ERA and 42.9 percent strikeout rate mostly because of his absurd heater, which, since the beginning of 2014, has averaged almost 101 miles per hour, according to Brooks Baseball. Throughout his career, opponents have managed a .166 average and .072 isolated power against his fastball - even when it's in the strike zone, they only make contact on two out of every three swings, roughly - and, last year, Chapman induced as many swinging strikes with his four-seamer as Jacob deGrom, who threw 1,817 more pitches.

Zach Britton's sinker

There's a reason Britton throws this pitch 90 percent of the time: it's just about impossible to square up. Since 2014, Britton has managed a ridiculous 79.25 percent ground-ball rate with the pitch, which sits around 97 mph and has helped the 28-year-old left-hander post the ninth-lowest home-run rate (0.49 per nine) among AL relievers over that span.

Cole Hamels' changeup

Last year, Matt Shoemaker surrendered 10 home runs off his changeup. Since the start of 2013, Hamels has allowed just eight with his, a pitch that results in a swinging strike about a quarter of the time and has frustrated opponents to the tune of .198 batting average over the last 11 seasons. Hitters can't lay off it, either: even when it ends up out of the strike zone, Hamels still induces a swing half the time.

Cody Allen's curveball

With all due respect to Craig Kimbrel and Brett Cecil, Allen's curveball is nightmare fodder. Not only did he generate whiffs with the pitch a quarter of the time last year, when he held opponents to a negative wRC+ off his curve, but he hasn't allowed a single home run on the No. 2 since adding it to his arsenal in 2014 (the same year he took over as the Indians' closer).

Noah Syndergaard's slider

Earlier this month, Royals manager Ned Yost suggested no earthly man could hit Syndergaard's slider - which tops out at a freakish 95 miles - and he might be right. Of the 59 sliders Syndergaard has thrown this season, 23 (39 percent) have been swung on and missed, nine were fouled off, and only one of the eight actually put in play resulted in a base hit.
