Name: Matt Warkentin
Position: LHP/1B/OF
Grade: 2015
Height/Weight: 6-foot-3, 185 pounds
Team: Great Lake Canadians
Ranked: 18th in Ontario's 2015 class
Evaluation: Two-way prospect with very projectable frame at 6-foot-3, 185-pounds with broad shoulders. Comparisons to Mitch Bigras who now attends Boston College. Off the mound has easy delivery with proper arm action. Fastball sits in the low-80s up to 84 mph with much more in there. At the plate, hits from a balanced approach, hands ready to hit. Potential with strength gains to have serious pop. Will stay middle of the field, won't try and do too much. In the infield showed an 85 mph arm while in the outfield showed an 89 mph arm while also running a 7.30 60-yard dash. Good looking prospect, will be a high follow guy heading into 2015.
