Scouting Report on Carey
Matt Carey OF (Webster Thomas HS, NY 2015)
Carey stands 6-foot-2 170-pounds and has an athletic build with projection. His setup is athletic and tall with a wide approach and slightly open. He uses a leg lift and short stride before the swing. His bat path is slightly inclined with his hands close to his body. His exit velocity was 85 mph off a tee.

In the OF he field the all in front and uses a small crow hope standing a little upright. He throws from an over the top slot with some carry at 77 mph. His arm action and transfer were both clean. He ran a 7.38 60 yard dash.

Analysis:
Carey has great size and an athletic frame that could hold 20 pounds more. His arm has signs of being above average and his swing is powerful from the right hand side. He will be at our top prospect games Aug 16 where he could really impress if all of his game shows up.
