Notes

9/15/24

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.

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.
CH: 73-73 mph. Fade and depth, good feel. T1272, 1272 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.
