LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2020 Mid-Atlantic Prospect Showcase
Matthew D'Angelo is a 2024 LHP/1B, OF with a 5-8 130 lb. frame from Massapequa, NY who attends Massapequa Ames. Recorded a 7.82 second sixty-yard dash time. Smaller frame with plenty of time to physically mature and add strength. Primary left-handed pitcher that works exclusively from the stretch, incorporating a shorter stride out to foot strike and slight recoil on his finish. Shows ability to throw strikes with full array of pitches, cutting and sinking his fastball to both sides of the plate. Fastball worked in the the upper-60s for the most part, topping out at 70 mph while flashing the aforementioned cut and sink to it. Secondary offerings are still in the developmental stages with his curveball showing best at present. Curveball shows 1-7 shape with some depth to it and the potential for good spin traits as he gains more arm speed. Secondary outfielder; aggressive approach into the fielding process, fielding cleanly off his front foot and working deliberately into gather and release. Displayed developing arm strength with accurate throws recorded up to 75 mph in drills. Left-handed hitter that hits from a slightly closed stance with tight hand set and minimal weight shift into contact. Middle-to-opposite field approach with inside-out hand path, developing feel for the barrel and best impact on a line to left side of the field. Will continue to improve with proper swing adjustments and has plenty of time to fill out physically. Excellent Student.
