01/16/2017 - National Tryout Plus - Mesa (Phoenix), AZ Matt is a 2019 RHP/2B prospect who is currently slightly more advanced at second base. He has a quick, clean arm on the mound that gives him deception and makes his ball explode on hitters. He is a three pitch pitcher with a low 70's fastball, a 10-4 curve and a mid 60's changeup with sink. He gathers himself well over the rubber and gets to a good balance point with on time separation to maintain his release point and throw strikes, especially with the fastball. At second, he stays low to field, centering the ball in his body to keep everything in front. He goes to his backhand well and makes nice flips and feeds to start the DP. At the dish, he shows a middle approach with a compact, level swing that allows him to hit the ball where it's pitched. He makes consistent contact and is able to hit line drives with solid hand eye coordination and barrel accuracy. Starting earlier will help him catch up to velocity and become a complete hitter. Matt is a prospect we will definitely keep an eye on as he continues to progress.
