Phil Maton, a 6-foot-2, 180-pound RHP from Chatham Glenwood HS, has committed to Louisiana Tech.

The long and loose Maton earned Prep Baseball Report second-team All-State honors after he helped guide Glenwood to the Class 3A state championship and a No. 2 overall ranking in the state. After going 3-1 as a sophomore, Maton was unbeatable last spring, going 11-0 with a 1.70 ERA. He amassed 106 strikeouts ? including 9 in the 3A title game - and only 14 walks in 78.2 innings. Maton also was a main contributor offensively, as he belted 8 homers, 14 doubles and 42 RBI.
