Matthew
Doran

5-foot-8, 172-pound, thick athletic frame, shoulders are sloped and movements are loose. A right-handed hitter, the stance is even and wider than shoulder width apart with more weight on the back side. The hands start at shoulder height are loose and start in a good position. For timing, uses a small leg, shifts weight back. The hands drop just so slightly before going forward, need to keep them up. The swing is level across his chest once the hands start to move forward. Finishes the swing with two hands, the tee exit velocity was 72 mph, feels for contact at times, needs to let the hands go, has more in the swing. The approach is more pull, sixty yard dash was clocked at 8.4. Defensively, plays third, prep steps are under control, the feet and hands work well together, fields the ball out front and feet continue to move throughout. The arm action is short and clean on the backside, arm was clocked at 66 mph. If the body can get moving quicker, arm will be quicker. Strength and a regimented throwing program will aid in his development.
