Apr 2021 Report
Evaluator: Jake Kerns
Age: 19 yr
Height: 5-11
Weight: 160 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2018 IFA
RuleV: 2022
Physical Description: Average height with a lean build. High-waisted. Has room to fill out and add upper body strength. Athletic.
Hit: Stands mostly upright in the box. Keeps his hands high and back. Some pre-pitch bat movement. Uses a moderate leg kick as his timing mechanism. Keeps his weight on his back foot. Linear swing that produces line-drive contact. Above-average or better bat speed. Has a one-handed follow through. Shows good bat-to-ball skills and gets the ball in the air when he makes good contact. Has a patient approach and should be able to avoid high strikeout totals. Grade: 50
Power: Shows average raw power during BP with room to grow as he physically matures. Has a rotational swing and has already gotten the ball in the air with regularity. His swing creates natural lift off the bat, which when paired with his bat speed and physical projection, indicates he has some untapped power potential. Grade: 50
Field: Moves well in the field. An instinctual player who takes good routes and has above-average footspeed; above-average range in CF. Grade: 50
Arm: Average arm strength with average carry. Mostly accurate in limited looks. Throws from a high 3/4 arm slot. Tool has some room to grow as he adds upper-body strength. Fits in CF and LF. Grade: 50
Run: Recorded above-average to plus times in the 60 as an amateur. Proved to be a stolen base threat in his minor league debut. No recent looks. Grade: 50
Overall: All of Matos' tools project as average or better, and he's one of the more exciting prospects in the Giants' system because of it. He knocked the cover off the ball in the DSL in 2019 and received positive reports from instructs in 2020. At this point, Matos is mostly projection beyond his bat-to-ball skills, but the ingredients are present for him to be a future regular or perhaps something more.
