View Draft Report
Lefty Matt Wright led Shippensburg to the Division II College World Series, where he struck out 15 in a masterful 166-pitch, four-hit win against Franklin Pierce (N.H.). A 5-foot-11, 170-pound junior, Wright lacks upside but has decent stuff, including a fastball that tops out at 91-92 mph early in games but drops to 87-88. He has good command of his fastball and an excellent changeup that fades and sinks against righthanded hitters. His curveball is below-average, though he occasionally flashes a decent one.
