LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2021 Spring Atlantic Coast Showcase
Matthew Ferguson is a 2022 1B/RHP with a 6-4 215 lb. frame from Davidson, NC who attends Community School of Davidson. Lean lengthy build displayed present strength with plenty to continue to translate to his tools. He posted a 7.59 in the 60 yard dash. Primary 1B, great quickness for his size he plays light on his feet and moves side to side well with good short burst in his actions. Glove skills are there and transfer is clean, has a quick release and makes the arm work. Fundamentals are in tact with an advanced build, projects well with added strength. Also pitched, the right hander was up to 78 mph with the fastball complimented by a developed breaking ball showing tight spin and 11/5 shape with depth. Works out of a full wind up he repeats well and is balanced out of a medium leg lift with great extension to the plate. Engages the back side well generating some lower half strength. Has a high 3/4 arm slot with whip and releases with reach, fastball has difficult downhill life. Keeps the arm action consistent with the secondary, great feel for his breaking ball. Fits the part, certainly has the tools to advance on the mound. Right handed hitter, starts with an open spread stance with a leg lift trigger, hands are loose and shows good bat speed. Promising flashes of the strength potential at the plate, put on loud connections that jumped off the barrel. Does a good job getting a full swing across, runs into it strong with extension. Gap to gap power, there's some loop to his swing that carries. Very solid pieces across his game, plenty of potential to unlock. Excellent student.
