Evan Mata is a 2016 2B/RHP with a 5-10 160 lb. frame from Midland, TX who attends Midland Lee. Medium, athletic build with a lean and projectable build with room to fill out. Ran a 7.42 60-yard dash. Primary middle infielder, moves well on feet to the ball, hands play, shows a strong arm with carry across the infield. Nice potential on the mound as a two-way player, throws from a high three-quarter arm slot with a tight release. Stays online through delivery with lower half, some effort at release. Fastball topped out at 84 mph and showed a nice feel for a slider with tight rotation, late 10-4 break and depth, generated swings and misses with the pitch. Right-handed hitter, starts with a wide base and a high hand set. Upper body swing, shows a short path to the ball, has carry off the barrel to the middle and pull side parts of the field. Fluid and quick stroke, sound approach in game with ability to hit to all fields and into the gaps. Named to South Underclass Top Prospect List. Very good student.
