LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2020 National Underclass Showcase-Main Event
Matthew Blackmon is a 2023 RHP/3B with a 6-5 185 lb. frame from Federal Way, WA who attends Federal Way High School. Extra-Large frame with a lanky type build showing plenty of room to fill out physically in the future, making him projectable. Ran a 7.51 second sixty yard dash. Primary Right-Handed Pitcher, flashed feel on the mound as he worked with young mechanics and a fast arm. Released from an over the top delivery as he created downward till to the plate. Got ahead early in counts as he was confident with his two pitch mix. Fastball up to 84 mph as he worked it to all four quadrants. Also proved he could spin the breaking ball for strikes while keeping hitters off-balance. Shows more velocity in the tank and will make big strides when he cleans up the operation. Secondary Third Baseman, sitting back on the baseball as he looks to keep it in front. Feel for the glove showing as he scooped it up before shuffling into throws. Accurate around the bag as he threw it 87 mph with carry across the diamond. Right-Handed Hitter, starting with a wider base before working into a deep load. Keeps weight on backside before working into his swing path. Proved he could leverage the baseball as it jumped off the barrel when he did so. Middle of the field approach as he projects more power down the road. Outstanding Student. Named to National Underclass Main Event Top Prospect List.
