Matthew
Foster

06.20.17 - 6-foot-4, 212-pound, sturdy frame with broad shoulders. The left-hander’s fastball was 85-86 mph, with a 73-74 mph changeup. His breaking ball was 69-71 mph. 

03.24.17 - 6-foot-4, 195-pound, projectable frame with broad shoulders. The left-hander works from a high-¾ slot with an average arm stroke and good tempo in his delivery. His fastball sat 83-85 mph topping out once at 86 mph. Foster pitched off his fastball predominantly, and the pitch flashed a ton of arm side run with heavy downward action at times. He recorded ten strikeouts in six and two-thirds innings. Foster threw his curveball with 50% consistency at 70-72 mph, but when he threw it in the zone it had good downward bite and 1-7 shape. Other times he would leave the pitch high arm side, getting around the ball. With his projectable frame, competitive nature, and fastball movement, Foster is a left-handed arm that college recruiters will want to see.


09.09.16

6-foot-4, 198-pound frame. Works from a ¾ arm slot with a long, loose delivery. He sat at 83 mph with his fastball and also threw his changeup for strikes at 74 mph. Foster showed real presence handling some defensive miscues by keeping his poise and continuing to throw strikes.
