Another follow from Hinsdale Central’s 2028 class is INF Matthew Drew. Drew looked to have some upside at the plate with a smooth and whippy swing, staying on-plane through the zone with easy effort. He also looks to be an above-average defender with smooth glove-to-hand actions and fluid footwork, moving athletically with some feel for the position.

The right-hander impressed on friday with a simple and easy delivery, working with an over-the-top release to create a fastball in the 75-78 mph range. To pair off the fastball he went to a tight 11/5 curveball at 65-67 mph and changeup around 70 mph. Repeats well and looks to have plenty more in the tank as he develops.
