RHP Matthew Szyska (Prospect, 2024) is a highly recruitable junior with advanced pitchability and feel on the mound. He’s 6-foot-1, 170-pounds with plenty of room to fill out and already shows a solid four pitch mix with ability to manipulate the baseball from a long loose ¾ arm slot. Szyska pounds the zone with four pitches led by a running 79-81 mph fastball that touches 82 mph; a curveball that lands for strikes with above average feel and spin; a slider that separates itself from the curveball with more of a short lateral action and even better spin than the curveball; and a big fading changeup with deceptive arm action.
Positional Profile: RHP/RHP
Body: 6-1, 170-pounds. High waisted, projectable frame.
Delivery: Medium leg lift, tall and fall delivery, works in-line, athletic mover.
Arm Action: RH. Long arm action, 3/4 slot, loose whippy action.
FB: T82, 79-81 mph. Runs to arm side. T2370, 2305 average rpm.
CB: 69-70 mph. 11/5 shape, above average feel, can land for strikes. T2384, 2312 average rpm.
SL: 70-72 mph. Slider plays with lateral action, short 10/4 shape. T2521, 2503 average rpm.
CH: 72-72 mph. Well above-average fade, solid feel and arm action. T1962, 1858 average rpm.
