12/27/2024 - Baseball Factory East Coast Winter Classic (MS) Mateo continues to impress with his baseball abilities on the diamond. At 1B, feet are active and displays proper footwork around the bag and he is a quality receiver. Glove action is clean but needs to present more out front. Range will increase as he improves foot quickness. At the plate, he shows a squared setup. Hands are quick and work through an aggressive swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. Lower half works well through the swing with an aggressive hip turn. On the mound, arm strength his improved as he threw his top velocity at 50 mph. Fastball showed a range of 47-50 mph. Breaking ball displays 10/4 shape with gradual break. He maintains arm speed on his changeup but through too hard, resembling fastball. Getting on a long toss program to develop more arm strength will aid in improving stock on the mound. Mental makeup is a plus as he is very coachable, has great attitude, and works hard to be the best player he can be.
