6/21/16 6-foot, 190-pound strong, athletic frame. A talented prospect in the 2018 class. Matt’s best tool right now is his bat. He has fluidity to his load and obvious batspeed and twitch through the zone. Bat came off his bat well in batting practice. Showed gap to gap pop at this stage with signs of power potential to come. Registered a top exit velocity of 89 mph. At first base he does a nice job of playing low and showed off above average glove skills. Moves well laterally. Behind the plate he showed some quickness to his feet and transfer. Throws were on target with 70 mph arm strength. Pop times ranged from 2.17-2.25.
7/15/15 6-foot, 190-pound athletic build. Right handed hitter that is balanced in the batters box. Uses a real good load and a flat path that stays in the hitting zone. Registered top exit velocity of 83 mph and ran a 4.83 home to first. At first base he shows good footwork around the bag and fields the ball into his body. Throws from a short, high-3/4 slot with 69 mph arm strength across the diamond. Behind the plate he starts with a wide base. Shows decent foot work and is slightly open on his throws. Good transfer with pop times ranging from 2.26-2.3 and 65 mph arm strength.
2/15/15 6-foot, 190-pound big body build. From behind the dish he has a wide frame. If he cleans up his footwork with better direction his pop times will improve. From a high-¾ slot his pop times ranged between 2.33-2.47 and showed 64 mph arm strength. From first base he is adequate around the bag and opens up on his throw. Right-handed hitter with a good load and showed solid power for his age. Registered top exit velocity of 79 mph and ran 8.09-60.
