After spending the entire spring season alternating between outfield and third base for the Katy Tigers where he was not called upon to pitch after the regular season started, Matthew is in the process of ironing out the rust and getting his arm back in shape, as he will most assuredly be called upon to pitch during the Allen Baseball Summer season, and might even make an appearance or two for the Katy High School Summer team.
We aren't sure exactly what his defensive role will be as the future looms ahead; although, we are pretty sure that his ability at the plate will definitely keep him on the radar.
Matthew feels comfortable and shows a well above average ability to play third base and any one of the outfield positions. He can also play any of the other infield positions. His arm is above average and he has had some success as a pitcher; although, that position tends to cause players to be pigeon-holed to where the bat can be taken out of their hand at the high school varsity level and above.
We feel like his bat is too dominant for that to happen, so I guess that it is safe to say that the future is yet to be determined.
