RHP/INF Landon Matthews (Lafayette, 2026) was another standout arm in this look. Building on a strong sophomore campaign with the Lancers last spring, the talented junior appears to have taken another step forward, running his fastball up to 87.1 mph while sitting comfortably at 85-86 mph. He showcased full command of a sharp, swing-and-miss slider at 81-82 mph, generating tight spin and late bite. His changeup played with depth at 79-80 mph, effectively mirroring his fastball arm speed to keep hitters off balance.
