Scouting Report
Hitting
Tim Matesi has special talent with plus-plus bat with above average tool package. First-round pick. Matesi hits with confidence and authority. Starts with hands high; swing plane creates good natural uppercut, lifts the ball easily; bat stays in hitting zone for a long time; above-average bat speed; has a patient approach at the plate, but will attack pitches within the strike zone; will chase up, but generally maintains a strong understanding of the strike zone; whole-field approach; smart hitter. Matesi has above average power generated by strong frame and swing trajectory; ball carries well off his bat, creates backspin; power primarily to pull side; power production to straight away and opposite field will be limited to doubles, though he does drive the ball in those directions.
Base-Running & Defense
Tim Matesi has easy natural speed; consistent plus times to first; shows occasional plus-plus times; top end he can fly. Matesi at times can appear to be gliding across the base paths, especially when going 1st to 3rd. Not afraid to take a bag showing good instincts on the base paths. Matesi has enough athletic to handle the outfield, but a more comfortable fit in a corner. Plus speed with solid routes he covers the gaps well. Arm strength is a plus above average. Unique combination of tools that will be fun to watch going forward. An elite prospect.
