Taira Matsumoto  
First Baseman | Fort Mac Roughnecks

Hitting
Matsumoto has quick hands and is able to cover the entire plate. He has the mental discipline to handle clutch situations. Left field, right field, center: this guy puts it all over.

Baserunning & Defense
Matsumoto doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a couple bases each season without getting caught very often. When you play Matsumoto you're not putting him in for his glove. His arm is accurate enough.
