2007 Draft Round 1 (5th pick) => Matthew Wi …
From http://0rz.tw/e82NS
Player Name: Matthew Richard Wieters
Position: Catcher
School: Georgia Tech
School Type: Four-Year College
Academic Class: Junior
Birthdate: 05/21/86
Height: 6'5"
Weight: 230 lbs.
Bats: Both
Throws: Right
Report Date(s): 02/16-02/18/07
Game(s): Illinois-Chicago
Hitting Ability: He usually is an electric hitter with the ability to hit for
power and average from both sides of the plate. Early this
season, though, he's been fighting himself at the plate during
games, getting out too quickly. He's more fluid from the left
side and has more strength from the right.
Power: He showed plus raw power from the left side during BP and only took a
few swings from the right side because that night's opponent was a RHP.
Running Speed: He is a below average runner.
Arm Strength: Also Georgia Tech's closer, he has plus arm strength from behind
the plate.
Arm Accuracy: His accuracy is just as good as his arm strength. His throws are
always right on target.
Fielding: Overall, he's average behind the plate. He needs to get in better
position to catch the ball and give his pitcher an earlier target
Range: He moves his feet fine, but needs to work on his lateral range.
Baseball Instinct: He normally has a terrific approach at the plate and is a
natural leader behind it.
Physical Description: He is tall for a catcher at 6-foot-5, but should be able
to stick behind the plate.
Medical Update: Healthy.
Strengths: Above-average power from both sides, arm strength and accuracy.
Weaknesses: Right now, there's a lot of movement in his swing and he's losing
leverage as a result.
Summary: On Friday, he was jumpy at the plate during the game and his approach
was not good. It's early in the year and he certainly has a good track
record, so no one doubts he'll remain the top college bat in the draft
class.
