While maintaining the Bedard pitchability, and --- > the game is broken.
Changeups look too much like FB's coming out of the hand. It ain't like throwing a slider.
Seriously, no exaggeration. You take the young Zito (I just fancy including him and Bedard as Z-Axis-er's; could be wrong) and give him 95 mph and the game becomes a joke.

It's funny - going down the top 400 pitchers, I don't recognize a single 94 mph lefty who had a deadfish change. Santana may be unique.
A hazy memory of Wilson Alvarez is the closest I could think of, but... seems he was more 89-91 and don't recall how good the change or command was.
91 mph with a plus-plus LH change, that's blinkin' rare enough.
