08/07/2023 - National Showcase - Houston, TX Matthew is an RHP/3B who will graduate in 2024. Medium frame athletic build with high waist and strength present. On the mound he picks up target early and has some deception to his delivery. Works with good direction down the mound and lands square to his target. A 3-pitch pitcher who attacks hitters with a FB that sat 73-74mph with some sinking action. He mixed in an 11/5 shaped slider with plus command, and a changeup that has good sinking action in the strike zone. SL was best pitch during his bullpen session. In the infield has a good prep step, with efficient footwork, and he shows good lateral range. He works to center the baseball, with hands out front, and ability to pick out hops. He made accurate and on-line throws to first base from a 3/4 arm slot with an arm velocity up to 75mph. A right-handed hitter he hits from an athletic and open stance. Shows natural strength in swing, with quick hands, and is centered at contact. A direct barrel path enables him to hit balls to all fields with a bat exit velocity up to 83mph during his round of BP. With another year of development, we foresee Matthew making huge strides on the baseball field.
