Matthew Jaimes is a 2006 third baseman/right handed pitcher from Ontario, CA with a medium build at 6-0, 185 lbs and good present strength. He ran the 60 in 6.92. Jaimes is a very good defensive third baseman, with quick feet and very good range. He plays an aggressive third base and likes to dive for the ball. Jaimes arm strength is a plus for him, too. He's also played some outfield and is a solid defender with very good arm strength as well. Offensively, Jaimes has a rock back approach with a long, extended swing with plenty of loft in it. He generates plenty of bat speed and the ball jumps off his bat on contact. He'll likely have to work on shortening up his swing as he consistently faces more high velocity pitching but the basics are there for him to be a very good hitter. Jaimes also took a turn on the mound and showed his arm strength again. He throws from a mid to low 3/4's release point and his fastball was up to 89 mph. He showed a good feel for a sweeping curveball at 74 mph and also threw a straight change and a split finger. Jaimes definitely has the ability to pitch and pitch well at the next level as well as play a position. He's a high level 2-way prospect who plays hard. Jaimes is a good student who has signed with Hawaii.

Matthew Jaimes is a 2006 3B/P from Chino HS in Ontario, CA, with a 6'0", 185 lb. frame. Jaimes was named to the top prospect team at the event and was invited to the National Showcase. He is a strong and athletic player that plays hard and does everything well. Jaimes ran a 7.26 on a very slow track, but showed very good game quickness. Defensively he has very good actions in the outfield with a quick arm and solid arm strength. He gets good jumps on fly balls and covers ground in the outfield. At the plate he is a right handed hitter with plus bat speed and the ball jumps off his bat. Jaimes loads his hands well and has a slight lift in his swing with present raw power. In the showcase games he was very aggressive at the plate trying to make things happen. On the mound he topped out at 87 mph with his fastball and mixed in a 76 mph breaking ball. We see his future as an outfielder who can come in and pitch relief at the next level. Jaimes is a fun player to watch and needs to be followed. He is also a good student.

Jaimes is a very young (1988 birthday) player who is a very live bodied athlete with good baseball actions. He kept getting better throughout the showcase and by the end of play we considered him one of the top prospects. Jaimes best present tool is his bat speed. He’s an aggressive hitter with a pull type approach who can really whistle the bat through the zone for a 15 year old. Jaimes made very consistent hard contact in game situations, particularly when he got a pitch on the inside half of the plate. Jaimes played a solid third base on defense and showed a strong arm that translated well onto the mound, where he threw 83-85 mph. One thing that we really like about Jaimes is his approach to the game; he’s a hustler who always plays with a smile and with a controlled aggressiveness. He's a very good prospect and a good student.
