One of the most physical and versatile prospects in attendance, UTL/RHP Matthew Bell (Valley Park, 2027) delivered a loud all-around showing at the Missouri State Games. At 6-foot-3, 240 pounds, Bell brings imposing strength to the field and backs it up with advanced tools on both sides of the ball. Offensively, the left-handed hitter swings with authority, consistently lifting the ball to the pull side and barreling his best ball at 95.8 mph, sending it 315 feet. A true utility defender, Bell showed elite arm strength from nearly every spot—92 mph across the infield, 90 mph from the outfield, and 82 mph from behind the plate. He also hopped on the mound during gameplay, running his fastball up to 88.9 mph with over 2,400 RPM of spin, while mixing in a tight 68–72 mph slider, a firm 80–82 mph changeup, and a 66–70 mph splitter.

C/OF/RHP Matthew Bell (Valley Park, 2027) is a physical, high-upside two-way prospect to follow closely in Missouri’s sophomore class. A Prep Baseball Super Sophomore Games alum, Bell stands at a strong and imposing 6-foot-4, 230 pounds, and he showed off his power potential at the plate with a peak exit velocity of 101.6 mph and an impressive 93.4 mph average, consistently finding the barrel with authority from the left side. Defensively, Bell’s arm strength stood out — firing a 95 mph strike from the outfield and reaching 85 mph from the crouch during the workout. He also hopped on the mound and ran his fastball up to 88 mph, sitting comfortably in the mid-to-upper 80s, and paired it with a 72–76 mph slider that averaged 2,340 RPM.
