LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2014 Pitcher/Catcher Indoor Showcase
Matthias Dietz is a 2014 RHP with a 6-5 230 lb. frame from Orland Park, IL who attends Carl Sandburg HS. Big and strong athletic build, looks the part, long legs and arms. Quick leg raise delivery with some drift, medium length arm circle, 3'4's arm slot, medium effort on release. Upper 80's fastball, topped out at 89 mph, big sinking and running action on his fastball down in the zone, projects to throw harder in the future. Sweeping curveball with fair spin and depth, tips curveball to the hitters by collapsing on his backside with lower release point than fastball. Developing change up with some late sinking action at the plate. Lots of adjustments to make with mechanics and off speed pitches but has a very good arm and present out pitch in his fastball. Could be a surprise guy with development. Signed with John Logan JC. Named to the Pitcher/Catcher Indoor Showcase Top Prospect Team.
