After just one outing...

Quote:Matt Canterino, 2019, RHP, Rice– Strong, durable bodied 6-foot-2, 225 pound power pitching righty who misses bats. Has averaged nearly 11 SO/9 IP in his college career. Feature pitch is a hard, hammer curveball. It has all the components; shape, movement and velocity of a plus ML pitch. Ranged from 76-77 mph. Manipulated his CB into an 81 mph slider shape offering with two strikes as a chase pitch. Induced some swing/miss and it played above average. Threw his fastball mostly to armside at 92-94 mph in his one inning appearance. More downplane than wiggle on this look. Also, had a fair feel for his change-up, more so as a useable complimentary pitch rather than an out inducer at the next level. Held a speedy runner at first base with a quick pickoff move, a 1.10 slide step and 1.28 non slide. Canterino has the athleticism and stuff to start in professional baseball, yet the unconventional, high effort delivery with a head jerk may slide him to the bullpen down the road. Potential early round selection in 2019.

Unfortunately, Matt failed to make the 26-man roster for the upcoming series against Japan and in Cuba...

...I'm assuming he'll head back to The Cape to finish up the Summer.

Good luck to Matt, that's an awesome evaluation.

Nice article posted today on Matt's return to the Cape and his experience with the national team...
