Richard Mateer  
Relief Pitcher | PEI Argonauts

Pitching
His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Mateer has no endurance. He's good for an inning an outing, tops. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Mateer's move to first base is average. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Mateer is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Mateer has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
If Mateer doesn't perform, the PEI Argonauts won't hesitate to send him down to the minors. I just don't know if The PEI Argonauts are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
