LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2021 13U/14U Northeast Showcase
Matthew Isshack is a 2026 C/ with a 5-6 155 lb. frame from Ozone Park, NY who attends Archbishop Molloy. Recorded a 8.83 second sixty-yard dash time. Medium frame with some present lower half strength and plenty of room to physically mature. Primary catcher, receives from a slightly side-saddled stance with relatively soft hands out in front, segmented footwork out of the crouch with deliberate pace to throwing motion. Works uphill to throw from an over-the-top slot, delivered online and accurate throws up to the bags during drills. Will continue to improve with mechanical refinement and additional strength. Secondary right-handed pitcher that worked exclusively out of the stretch in this look. Uses belt high leg lift to get started, medium length stride out to foot strike with slightly offline direction to it. Throws fair amount of strikes, fastball worked in the upper-50s for the duration of his outing, topping out at 60 mph from a three-quarters arm slot. Mixed in slow breaking ball that varied in shape and showed gradual depth. Right-handed hitter that hits from a slightly open stance with a tight hand set, high back elbow and toe-tap trigger. Contact oriented stroke with minimal hip torque in the lower half and slightly elongated swing path. Middle-to-opposite field approach with developing bat-to-ball skills. Will continue to improve with proper swing adjustments, additional usage of his lower half and strength. Good Student.
