Scouting Report

Hitting

A high-profile 2013 pick for the WHAT? Mens Softball Squad, high-schooler Matt Spaid was one of the best bats available in the draft. A fine natural hitter with excellent power, Spaid shows very quick wrists and great natural hitting ability already, which means as he grows and fills out, he could become a certifiable monster. Driving the ball to any part of the field with aplomb, Spaid went through a stretch last summer when he bent his back too much, resulting in a longer swing. Low Short-Pitches are his Achilles’ heel, but utilizing that patience against them will bring those numbers up again. He has surprising speed for a big guy, too.

Base-Running & Defense

Matt Spaid is an above average base runner who uses his good speed well. He combines good decisions with extreme aggressiveness to take extra bases and break up double plays. He can steel a run for you when need be, so that threat cannot be ignored. Defensively, Spaid is solid. Other first base mans have modestly better range, but Spaid turns virtually every ball he touches into an out. He is extraordinarily focused and disciplined, and almost all of his throws hits other infielders squarely in the chest.
