08/19/2024 - All-Ripken Games - Trenton, NJ Matthew Sturm is a C/OF that recently played at the All-Ripken Games. At the plate he was able to reach base on 4 of 9 at bats. One of those included a single. The only suggestion is that he gets his hands back sooner and involves his lower half more into his swing he will then be able to drive the ball with more consistency. On the mound his fastball was clocked at 48 mph. He was able to throw that pitch for strikes consistently. During his outing he only gave up one hit. Again, with a little bit of fine tuning in his swing he can definitely become a very dangerous hitter and end up on coach's radar.
