Notes

5/30/25
Drew, who stands at 5-foot-8 and 160-pounds, showed well during the Sparks' Saturday morning game. The righty is a calm, patient hitter, going 1-for-1 with a double down the line and two walks. He sets up in the back of the box with a long leg kick, showing rhythm with hands that start near the belt, but make their way up. Although Drew showed well with the bat, where he really stood out was on the base paths. He was looking to create chaos as a smart, eager baserunner. Looking to stretch walks into two bases, intentionally getting into pickles to get a runner from third to home, and still finding his way safely to second. A gritty base runner who understands the game and how to take advantage of creating chaos.
2/21/25

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.

Body: 5-8, 156 pounds. Well-proportioned frame.
Hit: RHH. Balanced setup, easy swing, flat path, looks to keep the ball on a line. 63.7 mph bat speed with 6g of rotational acceleration.

Arm: RH. INF - 73 mph. Shorter action with the ability to throw from multiple slots.

6/04/24

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.
