Gainesville, Fl. --- Another young up and coming arm who was very impressive at the Florida Underclass Games on August 5 at McKethan Stadium on the campus of the University of Florida, was 2018 RHP/INF Matthew Dickey from North Florida Christian. Today we take a look at Dickey on the mound but he also showed well as an infielder with some power in his bat for such a young guy.

Matthew Dickey

Dickey is a 6-foot, 165 pound right hander with an athletic physical body for being so young. Fluid delivery with a loose live very quick arm at a high ¾ slot. He landed slightly across his body but was consistently out front and repeated his delivery. The fast ball was 84-87 mph with good downward tilt. The curve ball had very good ¾ rotation and flashed ML average. Showed good feel for spinning the ball. The change up was 75-77 mph with good arm speed. It occasionally cut when thrown glove side of the plate. Showed good presence on the mound with good rhythm in delivery. Was a strike thrower. Good composure for such a young guy. Was the best all around pitcher in the showcase. Showed good stuff with pitchabilty and a lot of upside. The D-1 college coaches will be calling very soon.
