LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2021 Great Lakes Indoor Showcase (Saturday)
Matthew Fountain is a 2022 1B/RHP with a 6-7 170 lb. frame from West Bloomfield, MI who attends West Bloomfield. Long and very lean athletic build with lots of growing still to do. 7.71 runner in the sixty. Moves well around first base defensively and shows good lower half coordination and fundamentals, arm works well at first as well. Also plays the outfield. Left handed hitter, hits from a spread stance with a big lower half hip drift into contact, loose extended swing that gets the barrel out on time, looking to whip the barrel and strong enough yet but has a good swing to build into if he does. Also pitched, long stride out front and gets over his front side well, delivery is well coordinated and on time, high arm slot with some upper body lean. Fastball topped out at 81 mph, did a good job throwing strikes with his fastball. Slider was a solid second pitch that was tunneled well with his fastball. Has plenty of potential on the mound. Good student.
