Fastball
Hop+
A fastball with hop has a flat approach angle and visually jumps through the zone. When thrown up in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher swing and miss average. Hop+ of 100 is MLB average.
Fastball
Sink+
A fastball with sink has low backspin and drops through the strike zone. When thrown down in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher ground ball percentage and lower launch angle. Sink+ of 100 is MLB average.
Fastball
Rise+
A fastball with rise has a high percentage of backspin. When thrown up in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher fly ball percentage. Rise+ of 100 is MLB average
Curveball
Hammer+
A hammer breaking ball drops vertically with velocity through the zone, or 12-to-6 movement. Hammer+ of 100 is MLB average.

Positional Profile: LHP/OF
Body: 6-1, 190-pounds.
Delivery: Works from the stretch, quick leg kick that gets downhill. Intense.
Arm Action: LH. Over the top with slight drop.
FB: T87, 85-86 mph. Heavy, shows ASR, gets up on RHH quickly. T2176, 1963 average rpm.
CB: 77-80 mph. Sharp, late bite with 12/6 break. Confident with ability to land and manipulate. T2870, 2612 average rpm.
Uncommitted. 6-foot-0, 185-pound frame. Strong outing from the lefty, displaying good feel for the CV early on, 79-77 with a 12-6 looping break, and topping at 2616 rpm. Collected whiffs on demand and showed deceptive sequences that confused batters. FB had life and natural cut in on RHH with the same arm slot and release as the CV, sneaky speed. Ran up to 86-84 with 2100 rpm. Shoved 4.0 innings of 3 hit, 0 run ball while collecting 8 strikeouts.
Jude Matthews, Lakeside High School (GA), 2026
Positional Profile: LHP/OF
Body: 6-0, 181-pounds.
Delivery: Slightly angled hybrid windup. Drops lead back into windup with some tempo. Slight counter rotation with the upper half as arm works back.
Arm Action: LH. High 3/4 slot with a medium arm swing. Good arm speed at present.
FB: T87, 85-86 mph. Decent amount of ride with minimal armside run. Creates a solid angle at the top of the zone that challenges hitters and got swing and miss and weak contact. T2222, 2108 average rpm.
CB: 75-78 mph. Super high spin with sharp two-plane 1/7 break. Showed good feel to land it. T2914, 2742 average rpm.
SL: 77-78 mph. Noticeable distinction from the curveball. Tighter spin that stays on the 0 line vertically with sweep to the glove side. T2682, 2631 average rpm.
CH: 79-80 mph. Killed spin with tumbling action. Killed vertical break and got some good fade to the arm side. T1513, 1356 average rpm.
Jude Matthews, Lakeside (GA), 2026
Positional Profile: LHP/OF
Body: 6-0, 180-pounds. Physical, proportional frame. Strength in the lower half
Delivery: Stretch only; Sinks deep into his lower half before creating a steep downhill plane from good extension. Deceptive.
Arm Action: LH. High 3/4 action
FB: T85, 84-85 mph. Heavy with consistent sink and run T2255, 2111 average rpm.
CB: 71-72 mph. Big, looping shape that creates both depth sweep well T2709, 2683 average rpm.
SL: 76-78 mph. Great feel to spin with hard gyro movement T2945, 2818 average rpm.
CH: 79-79 mph. Hard arm-side fade with feel for the zone T1610, 1605 average rpm.
Uncommitted. 6-foot, 170 pounds. Junior Future Games alumni. Tall, athletic frame that works well to his advantage to go deep into games. Since his JFG appearance last year, he’s added 7 mph to his fastball, running it up to 84 in his outing Sunday with spin in the 2200s. This is without sacrificing command for added velocity, as the command of the fastball was exceptional and located it wherever he wanted, filling up the zone. Used his curveball sparingly at 72-74, but getting a good amount of whiffs on it. Flashed a changeup a couple times, running at 76. Matthews sits well into his legs and has a medium tempo delivery with deceptive arm action as he hides the ball behind his backside, seemingly invisible. L3/4 arm slot. He had good command of all of his pitches and kept hitters off balance, all working well together to throw a 7-inning shutout in the final game of the tournament. He limited the opposition, quality opposition, to just 3 hits, allowing Complete Game to scratch by with a win with a 1-0 score.
Jude Matthews, Lakeside (GA), 2026
Positional Profile: LHP/OF
Body: 6-0, 165-pounds.
Delivery: Medium tempo delivery with unique crossfire. Sits into legs very well (hammy, glute dominant) with advanced hip hinge for age. Compact thru up+down+out phases, makings of lead leg block.
Arm Action: LH. Repeatable short circle arm action that is very deceptive and nearly invisible to hitters. Minimal depth and buils momentum throughout. L3/4 slot.
FB: T83, 80-83 mph. Late tail, exceptional angle. T2118, 1968 average rpm.
SL: 68-70 mph. Advanced sweeper with consistent shape and sharp action that gets freezes and whiffs. T2735, 2619 average rpm.

6-foot 165-pounds. Matthews has made some big strides since last summer. At the Junior Future Games he showed the ability to throw strikes with pitches and ran the fastball up to 77. Less than a year later he is sitting 79-82 and touched 83 and 84. The lower half has really developed and has carried the velo jump for him. His trackman metrics on all of his pitches are starting to tick up as well. His curveball spin stays above 2300, and the fastball has 12-18 inches of horizontal break. Matthews is going to be a fun left handed arm to see develop the rest of the summer against some tough competition.
