Comments |
| Hitting Ability: | Mattair is one of those rare amateurs who has a swing that might be better with a wood bat. He does have the skill set to hit for average at the next level. |
| Power: | Strong and mature, Matair will come into power. He's got good pop going the other way into right-center. |
| Running Speed: | He's a good athlete who runs better underway. |
| Base Running: | Mattair makes the most of his speed with heads-up baserunning. |
| Arm Strength: | Mattair has an above-average arm. |
| Fielding: | He's got very good hands, but with his size, he could face a move to third. |
| Range: | At 6-foot-4, 215, he's fairly athletic in the field, but that size spells hot corner. |
| Physical Description: | Mattair is a big-bodied kid, a basketball player who is very athletic. |
| Medical Update: | Healthy. |
| Strengths: | Athleticism, size, arm strength, power potential and an overall ability to hit. His makeup is off the charts. |
| Weaknesses: | Much of Mattair's hitting skills are more projection than "now." Whoever drafts him will be buying the body and hope he fulfills that potential. |
| Summary: | Mattair is a big, athletic infielder who most likely will see his future at third. He can hit and will hit for power with a swing that should be well suited for wood bats. He's got a strong arm and soft hands and plus, plus makeup. |
