07/29/2015 - Baseball Factory National World Series at Pirate City - Session 1 Matthew is a thick, solid RHP/3B that will graduate in 2016 with a promising future on the diamond at both positions. At the plate is where he shows best through an athletic setup. Hands are quick, generating bat speed work to and through a level swing path, creating extension. He has strength in his swing with the baseball jumping off the bat when centered, displaying outstanding power potential as he works to stay inside the ball to utilize all fields. At 3B, feet are active as he works to squares balls up and fields out front. Defensive grade will continue to improve as he increases foot quickness. On the mound, fastball showed a range of 78-82 mph. Breaking ball displays 11/5 shape with gradual break. Control is well above average as he throws strikes with all his pitches. Stock on the mound will continue to grow as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program and develops better off speed stuff. Mental makeup is a plus as he plays hard and is very coachable. Matthew has a lot of potential and will catch the eyes of the college coaches as he continues to improve, possibly as a two-way guy.
