LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2007 National Showcase
Matthew Sisto is a 2008 1B/P with a 6'5'', 215 lb. frame from Anaheim, CA who attends Cypress HS. He has a tall, well proportioned frame that carries strength well and he's really done good work firming himself up. Until this summer, we mostly thought of Sisto as a pitching prospect but we've changed out minds on that. He had an excellent showcase with the bat and was really able to show his tools. Sisto hits from a balanced stance with a limited stride and a quick, leveraged swing. He has the hand strength to keep his swing short at his height and still hit the ball deep in the zone. He crushed balls from the middle half in and the ball made that different sound coming off the bat. He doesn't have a lot of obvious lift in his swing but he hit some deep bombs in BP to show his raw power. It looked easy to him. Sisto is also very athletic around the first base bag and will be an asset there. Sisto was good off the mound, too. He's not a power pitcher and doesn't project as one but was 87-90 mph on his fastball with a good curveball and change up. He knows how to pitch and does a nice job spotting the ball and working hitters. As a college guy he could be an outstanding two-way player but his bat shows the most pro promise. Sisto is a very good student and has a verbal to Hawaii.
