LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2023 Class of 2026 All-American Games
Matthew Hopkinson is a 2026 RHP/UT with a 6-3 195 lb. frame from Mobile, AL who attends Homeschool. Big and strong young build with power pitcher's hips. Side step/hip turn delivery, slow paced delivery with some drift to the plate, compact 3/4's arm slot. Fastball topped out at 83 mph, more upper 70's out of the stretch, gets occasional cut on his fastball, has been up to 85-87 mph at PG events this year and could be tired. Showed some feel for shaping a breaking ball, harder breaking ball with more slider shape and spin was the better pitch this outing, tends to drop his slot on the slower curveball. Rare change up. Has a good pickoff move but tends to be very slow to the plate (1.75-1.85) which will have to be addressed moving forward. Has lots of projectable traits. Excellent student.
