Matthew Whitting is a 2022 C/RHP/UT with a 5-4 130 lb. frame from Bellaire, TX who attends Lamar HS. Shorter athletic build with the beginnings of some present strength. Right handed hitter, hits from a narrow stance with a high hand set and a toe tap trigger, big shift into contact, has a loose and extended swing, swings hard and creates some bat speed, geared up for the fastball. Showed athleticism both catching and in the infield, has lower half quickness and bounce, can get more directional in his footwork throwing behind the plate but has a quick transfer and release, plays defense with confidence. Didn't run the 60 but showed speed and aggressiveness on the bases. Also pitched, compact high 3/4's arm action, fastball topped out at 76 mph with a big downer break on his curveball. Good all around athlete who will keep improving as he gets bigger and stronger. Named to the 2018 National Underclass South Showcase Top Prospect List.
