11/08/2015 - College PREP - Middletown (Hartford), CT Matthew continues to work hard on his game. This athletic RHP has a strong lower 1/2 and projectable build. On the mound, he maintains fluid rhythm, has smooth separation and stays directional toward the dish. He works his pitches to both sides of the plate and throws strikes. FB now tops out at 71 mph with slight cut. Breaking ball has 10/4 shape while changeup shows sink - which will result in GB outs. Continuing to develop his arm strength (long toss) will add velocity on his FB which will help to improve overall effectiveness on the bump. As a hitter -Matthew shows a balanced setup with patience waiting for his pitch. Swing is level as he squares the ball up and drives it back up the middle of the field. Swinging on a shorter/more direct path with increased bat speed will result in increased power. A 2018 grad - Matthew has skills with some upside on the mound.
