LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2023 PG CPBL Showcase
Matthias Lipka is a 2026 SS/RHP/IF with a 6-2 165 lb. frame from Mississauga, ON who attends St. Martin's. Large, square shouldered frame with long limbs and a lean build with room to fill throughout moving forward. Ran an 8.28 60-yard dash. Primary shortstop, young footwork on the move, makes the plays and shows looseness in actions, can drop to a lower slot to make throws across the diamond and shows accuracy to the bag. Also pitched, works middle rubber and high leg lift into a full three-quarter slot. Longer arm swing in the back. Quick arm with intent with bit of run and sink to the fastball. Flashed a two-plane slider in mix with subtle bite and developing shape. Athletic look and mixed well. Left-handed hitter, begins with an open base and a high hand set with a tighter start. Flashes bat speed through the zone, clean swing path and creates jump off of the barrel to the pull side when separated out front. Occasionally gets rotational in lower half, hand speed in swing, nice tools to build upon. Good student.
