Quinn Mathews

ANALYSIS
Though he chose not to sign with the Rays as a 19th-round pick in 2022, Mathews was able to push his way into the fourth round in 2023 after a standout season at Stanford. At 6-foot-5 and 188 pounds, the left-hander has a solid build and effectively mixes four pitches. With a modest fastball that typically sits in the lower 90s, Mathews relies on some deception to find success. His most reliable offering is a low-80s changeup that generates a good amount of swings and misses while also yielding grounders. Because he's not a power pitcher, Mathews could struggle to continue posting high strikeout rates at the higher levels of the minors, so he may project as more of a back-end starter if and when he eventually reaches the majors.
