Matt Dunbar is a 2008 LHP/1B/OF with a 6'1'', 195 lb. frame from Torrance CA, who attends South Torrance HS. He has a strong build, starting with and athletic lower body that serves him well in his delivery. Dunbar has a chance to evolved into a legitimate two-way college prospect if his bat continues on the path he looks to be on. As a pitcher, Dunbar is clearly a quality D1 prospect. He showed that he can pitch and has quality stuff that will contin ue to develop. He may not develop 'big' stuff, but Dunbar should climb into the mid-80s and with the way he hides the ball with his short arm action, his stuff jumps on hitters quickly. Dunbar's fastball (81-83 mph) has a lot of run, created from his 3/4 slot. Even better is that he is around the zone a lot, so he will get bats started and give up a lot of soft contact as his command sharpens. Dunbar's curveball and slider are both quality college pitches and are especially effective against left hand hitters. His feel of the slider appeared better than with the curveball, which makes sense with is slot. He was able to throw it effectively to the backfoot of right hand hitters, which means he has a chance to be a starting pitcher. Dunbar mixed his pitches well and showed good feel for the baseball. Offensively he showed good bat speed and looks like he will hit for some power. Dunbar keeps his hands inside the baseball through contact and stays behind the baseball with is body. That swing allows his barrel to lag and square up at contact, creating pop to all fields. Keep an eye on him over the summer as a hitter. He will be a solid defensive player at 1st base and likely average in in left field too.
