LAKE CENTRAL VS SOUTH SPENCER- 5.12.17
By Rhett Goodmiller
Matthew Litwicki, RHP, Lake Central HS, 2017
The 6'2", 195 pound Indiana commit sat 88-90, touching a 92 early Friday night. Loose, long arm action with arm strength and speed down the mound, releasing at high 3/4 arm slot. Repeatable delivery with inward turn at the top of windup, creating deception and ball to jump late on hitters. Front side tendency to leak open and pull baseball glove side out of zone. Curveball was consistently 73-74 mph and threw a couple early on with good downward bite for strikeouts. Threw for out pitch to chase in the dirt and for strike in 3-2 count. Struggled at times to throw back to back breaking balls, hand getting on the side and around baseball and creating more of a cutter out of the zone with front side flying open. When fingers stayed on top with release out front, created good breaking pitch down in zone. Changeup was firm at 80 mph. Attacked with fastballs and breaking ball mix. Big mound presence and pitched with confidence. Athletic to field position.
