LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2006 Sunshine East Showcase
Matthew Bertino is a 2007 RHP/1B with a 6'5'', 200 lb. frame from Jupiter FL, who attends Jupiter HS. He has a very nice young pitcher's body, with long limbs and good strength projection. Bertino's pitching mechanics are raw right now. He opens early with his front side and has to rush his arm to get it through. Bertino had good running action on a 2-seam fastball that touched 83 mph. His best pitch was a 67 mph change up that had good deception. His 70 mph curveball showed promise and will improve as his mechanics improve. Bertino has a lot more in his arm and body as far as velocity and raw stuff goes if he can make some adjustments. Bertino also swung the bat pretty well at the showcase, showing good power to right center field and a long, strong swing. Bertino is an excellent student.
