Sam Matthews  
Shortstop | Yellowknife Bluenotes

Hitting
One thing's for sure, late in the game you're glad you have him on the field. He has a natural lift to his swing, which produces few groundballs. He doesn't perform well against right-handed pitching.

Baserunning & Defense
His defense is solid but unspectacular. His arm is accurate enough. Matthews is an intelligent baserunner with average speed, but he's not a basestealing threat.
