Scouting Report

Hitting

Matt Dulaney is vulnerable to hard flat stuff that crowds him, and that remains the best strategy to get him out. He often will get himself out by chasing eye-high deep balls, pitches that he has difficulty lying off. He gets many of his base hits on flat pitch down in the strike zone, and Softball League pitchers also try to avoid throwing flat change-ups over the plate to Dulaney. He has good plate coverage and displays consistent extra-base power to the opposite field. He also has been showing more consistent patience at the plate.

Base-Running & Defense

Matt Dulaney has outstanding speed and a loose, fluid stride. He’s a strong defensive fielder with soft hands; his assists are misleading because few teams will risk running on Matts quick-release pinpoint accuracy throws. With great speed and even better base running instincts, Matt is a solid runner who knows how to pick his spots to run. He shows good judgment in taking the extra base, and is among the best young player currently in the leagues.
