2018 14U National Showcase
Matthew Sauve is a 2022 3B/RHP, 1B with a 5-10 175 lb. frame from Mabton, WA who attends Grandview High School. Medium, square shouldered build with present strength proportioned throughout frame. Ran a 7.66 60-yard dash. Primary third baseman, takes short steps moving towards the ball with longer strides going up the middle, works on top of throws from a short and compact arm action. Similar arm action from first base, accurate throws across the diamond, occasionally opens front side early on throws. Also pitched, side step into delivery with leg lift just above belt with slight hip turn at top; shorter arm stroke working to a high three-quarters release point. Fastball topped out at 74 mph, threw strikes and pitched to contact; showed comfort with curveball and landed it for strikes up to 67 mph. Righthanded hitter, begins with a wide base and a high hand set and back elbow in the box. Utilizes a toe tap trigger for timing, shifts weight through lower half well and shows rhythm, occasionally gets to front side early. Creates torque in swing and loads hands back at start, looks to elevate at point of contact and shows strength when on time and squared, shows a handle for the barrel. Very good student. Named to 14u National Top Prospect List.
