LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2023 Atlantic Coast Prospect Showcase
Chad Matthews is a 2025 SS/RHP/C with a 5-8 155 lb. frame from Denver, NC who attends North Lincoln. Medium frame with emerging strength and some twitch to his actions and plenty of time to add physicality. Ran the 60 yard dash in 7.28 seconds. Primary position IF, playing deep in his legs and working methodically through his reps. Developing glove work showing accuracy and securing the ball before a deeper transfer to throw. Feeds up to 79 mph across the diamond with good accuracy. Reps in the OF showing similar actions and playing with some hop in his step. Secondary RHP working from the full windup and using quick leg lift to the belt where he breaks his hands into a deep offline arm path. Generates good hand speed but some timing issues cost him some command but the stuff is there. FB up to 81 mph with some life to it and proving to be a tough look for hitters. Very good SL with tight rotation in the mid-70s and CH with fading action to complete his repertoire. Works fast on the mound, competes in the zone and moves athletically. RHH starting from a wide and deep stance in his legs with a good handset and a wrapped barrel. Some length in the front arm and small toe tap trigger to create his timing. Hand speed and strength are present as he gets on plane creating good carry after impact. Two-way talent skill set here and he is an excellent student as well.
