Personal Statement

My goals in the classroom and athletically are the same: to excel to be the best student and athlete I can become. I also want to see my community succeed and I volunteer by raising money for local causes including the Western Massachusetts Labor Action and I coach youth basketball (another sport I love to play) at the Pittsfield Boy's & Girl's Club. My work ethic is evident by increasing my fastball from 83mph to 86mph this summer which is a result of many hours in the gym and the help of a growth spurt. My brother is 6'4'' and my father is 6'3'', so I hope to catch them both soon. I appreciate the look and hope to hear from you or your team soon.

Sincerely,

Matthew J. Lee

SCOUTING REPORT FROM THE BF: 01/08/2021 - 2021 Baseball Factory Pre-Season Prospects Tournament (HS) Matthew is an athletic RHP/OF prospect who showcased his skills during the Pre-Season Prospects Tournament. On the mound, Matthew gathers over the rubber and separates his hands on time. He accelerates through his release and finishes square to the plate. Matthew shows a three pitch mix with his fastball topping out at 85mph with arm side run. Breaking ball sits from 65-67mph with 11-5 break. Changeup sits from 70-72mph. In the field, Matthew gets into position on time and fields the ball out in front of his body. His exchange is clean and he gets rid of the ball quickly, making accurate throws with life through his target. At the plate, this LHH sets up in a square stance and takes a short stride. He is controlled getting into his load and drives through well with his lower half. He works through a level swing with fast bat speed, leading to strong line drives and gap to gap pop. Overall, Matthew is a talented prospect who has the potential to contribute at the next level.
