Matthew Fletcher, Cedar Ridge (TX), 2025
Positional Profile: 1B/LHP 1B/LHH…solid approach to hit productive AB's and hard contact. Opportunities there if he ends up struggling with velocity at next level. Defensively can improve footwork and hands to develop in nice 1st baseman. LHP…must develop command of stuff. Develop ability to FB in/out, adding life. CB has some good attributes, showing ability to manipulate action, tightening spin and working to throw harder will help with effectiveness. Change is developing.
Body: 6-2, 213-pounds. Solid build with some thickness to body. Can add strength.
Delivery: Side step rocker, 3rd base side start. Online stride. Nice job of getting over front leg with upper body, solid finish.
Arm Action: LH. Glove tap. Full circle with length. LTQ slot with good finish out front. Fair arm speed.
FB: T82, 79-82 mph. FB must be located for success. Likes to work ball glove side, slight tail present. Needs to work FB both sides of plate and develop life for success. T1945, 1774 average rpm.
CB: 68-69 mph. Soft early breaker, Varies action 3/4 tilt to sweepy type. T1935, 1779 average rpm.
CH: 76-76 mph. Fade action with some deception present. T1690, 1690 average rpm.
ATH: 7.59 runner in the 60. 1.78 and 4.18 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. Hard runner. 24.70 max vertical.

Body: 6-2, 213-pounds. Solid build with some thickness to body. Can add strength.
Hit: LHH. High knee lift stride, lands heavy on stride leg, slightly closed, does a good job of staying back with body. Rotational back foot, gets stuck midway thru rotation, can improve getting lower 1/2 involved in swing with getting foot completely rotated, especially with slightly closed stride. Solid contact in game with productive AB's. Hands start down, raise up with stride, getting hands in good position to hit, barrel gets slightly tipped over head creating some length. Solid bat/hand speed. Solid path in zone showing ability to use all fields. Only concern in future is where barrel is starting, will he be able to be on time with velocity at next level. Note for future if he does end struggling, opportunity to get barrel in better position to launch shortening path into zone. Works right now, would not change anything at this time. 71 mph bat speed with 8 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 99 max exit velocity, averaged 88.1 mph. 366' max distance. Solid approach to hit with ability to find barrel and create solid contact. Opportunities present in future for adjustments if struggles with velocity at next level.
Arm: LH. INF-80 mph. Arm works okay with fair arm speed. Can improve with long toss program.
Defense: Feet work fine getting body into position to field. Can improve footwork when fielding by keeping feet moving, dead at times when fielding now. Fields baseball deep, can improve fielding baseball out front. Fair foot quickness/speed along with body control and agility.
ATH: 7.59 runner in the 60. 1.78 and 4.18 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. Hard runner. 24.70 max vertical.
