One of the top players here this weekend at the PBR Junior Future Games and it is easy to see why. His already advanced 6-1 180 LB frame is loaded with easy athleticism and projection. What separates Matthew from players his age is the sweet left handed swing, the fluidity in and out of launch is glaring along with his ability to create natural loft. Matthew routinely makes contact out front allowing for consistent hard contact. He left the yard today, after seeing 2 breaking balls, a FB was left over the plate and it surely was not missed. Exciting 2026 to keep following!

Uncommitted. 6-foot-1, 185-pounds. Ranked 23rd best player in the ‘26 class and top 30 player nationally. Franatovich has an effortless swing with ideal rhythm, fluidity, and timing. His swing is simple yet has an optimal launch angle to send balls out in a hurry. At just 15 years old, Franatovich is already an advanced hitter that was raking at the PBR Classic. His head stays still throughout his swing, rhythm between his hips + hands as they both move back, negative movement is extremely minimal as his toe-tap load starts, his elbow stays tucked before he unloads as his front foot lands. Franatovich does really well at keeping his shoulders, hands, and bat on the same plane before launching his barrel through the zone for hard contact. The bat knob leads his bat path throughout his extension and hard contact is made in front of his front foot. Franatovichs power is easily noticeable due to his optimal launch angle that he puts on a ball. I also think that Franatovich possesses really good intangibles for a hitter such as patience/discipline to not swing at balls, fearlessness when he gets into the box (especially against top pitchers), and his relaxed approach for both FB’s and BB’s. Defensively, Franatovich needs to continue to develop his OF tools. He has good reaction time and average range due to his long strides. He needs to develop his arm and will as he adds more muscle throughout the years. His OF velo still needs refinement as runners don't fear him around the bases.  Overall, This kid is a ball-player!! He still needs to develop in some areas but has a lot of potential to be a top talent and will make a college very happy some day as he is a very consistent hitter.
