Notes

9/07/23

True sophomore. 6-foot-1, 200-pound frame with clear strength, athletic build and round shoulders. Tarr will look to add depth to the already impressive Vols pitching staff, and he already showed flashes of success last spring with 19 strikeouts in 14.1 innings. The right-hander showcased a lively fastball at 91-93 mph, playing with life through the zone and over 2300 RPM. His slider has true plus potential, spinning over 2800 RPM with sharp slurvy action, 78-79 mph, though he struggled to command it in this look. He also flashed a fading changeup at 85-86 mph, playing with just over 13” of run.  

9/10/22

2022 Puma Classic: Athletic, two-way talent with a FB up to 94 on the bump. Sat 92. Combined heater with a high spin breaking ball up to 2800 rpm. Made it look easy during his one inning of work.

1/29/22

Added strength onto a 6-foot-1, 210-pound frame since our previous look, clear physicality in the lower half. Athletic drop-and-drive downhill pattern, repeats and finishes in a controlled posture. Shorter, compact arm action that works from a clean high ¾ slot, above-average arm speed, loose shoulder. Fastball sat 91-93 mph, averaged 2,398 rpm, mostly straight action and some feel for the zone; ball jumps out of the hand with late finish through the zone. Breaking ball is the separator. Played at 75-78 mph with sharp late break, downer action, averaged nearly 2,800 rpm and showed feel to locate it around the zone/for strikes. Also mixed in a changeup at 84-87 mph that played from a slightly lower release slot and averaged 16.4 inches of horizontal movement. Emerged as one of the event’s biggest winners as an area draft follow moving into the spring.

8/25/21

Verbally committed to Kent State.

Hit: RHH. Athletic, slightly open, short leg-lift timing trigger, hangs foot, maintains balance through contact. Fluid rhythm, compact swing, hands work directly to the ball, made consistent hard contact, especially to the pull-side.

Arm: RH. C - 84 mph. Short, over-the-top arm action, throws flashed carry.

3/20/21
One of the top two-way performances on the day came from C/RHP Matthew Tarr. Tarr, listed at 6-foot-1, 195-pounds, started his day on the mound sitting 87-90 mph, T91 with a hard biting, downer curveball at 76-78 mph and an average spin rate of 2568 rpm. Tarr then proceeded to top at 84 mph from the crouch with his low pop time hovering around the 2.00 mark. Tarr then proceeded to take one of the loudest BP rounds of the day showing present pull-side power and feel to hit. Tarr registered the third highest average exit velocity of the day at 94.48 mph off the bat with the second furthest batted ball of the day at 374 feet. High-follow two-way prospect.

His breaking ball sat 79-83 mph with an average spin rate of 2,896 RPM (T2971 RPM), flashing sharp 10/4 action with up to -22.3” of horizontal movement.
