Matusz Scouting Report

Stotle and Crawdaddy run a fine site over at Camden Depot.  The released a Brian Matusz review.  An excerpt:

Is Matusz Worthy of 1:4?

Matusz profiles as a #2 starter capable of pitching up to a #1 provided he’s able to tweak some of his mechanics. Usually, command is the last tool to come for a young pitcher. Matusz has command to spare, making him a prime candidate to move quickly through the Minors. He hasn’t necessarily been the best overall arm over the last two seasons (Price and Strasburg probably taking those honors for ‘07 and ‘08, respectively) but he has been consistent and consistently near the top of any SP list. While no pitcher should be considered “safe”, he is the best bet of the college arms to reach his potential and should be in heavy demand come Thursday.

Prospect Grade – A-
Suggested Draft Slot – 1-4
1:4 Recommendation – Strongly Consider drafting

I’m getting excited.

Yeah, he's got a real short stride.

I like Matusz a lot, but I don't think he has #1 stuff. He should be a solid #2/3 starter for years. Good pick for Baltimore if they nab him.

The O's are guaranteed to have a shot at one of T Beckham, Alvarez, Smoak, or Matusz.

I'd be happy with any of those guys.

MLB's draft tracker is finally up. Been hard finding useful scouting videos.
