LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2017 National Underclass East Showcase
Matthew Vonholten is a 2019 RHP/3B with a 6-0 205 lb. frame from Watervliet, NY who attends Shaker High School. Medium frame, large build, compact lower half, and present strength throughout build. Primary right handed pitcher, side step start, deeper hip turn, landed closed, crossfire element, and threw from a tight three quarter arm slot. Medium arm circle through the back and worked hard over front side. Fastball worked 72-77 mph with short running life. Curveball showed 10/4 shape with slightly reduced arm speed. Changeup showed fade as well out of the hand. Fielded position well and moved well off the mound. Secondary third basemen, fields ball off to the side with developing footwork. Threw from a tight slot with developing arm strength. At the plate, started with a narrow, open base, upright stance, high back elbow, and a stride into contact. Hands drop at hand load with a naturally lofted swing plane. Strength when timed with over shifting lower half. Will improve offensively with simplified lower half mechanics and a shorter hand path. Good student.
