Danny Matekel is a 2017 C/1B with a 6-1 185 lb. frame from Canoga Park, CA who attends El Camino Real HS. Large, atheltic build with broad shoulders, longs limbs and present strength throughout. Ran a 7.26 60-yard dash. Primary catcher, full arm action behind the plate, pops up out of crouch, gains ground with lower half, remains tall at release, gets on top of throws, arm strength will continue to develop with incorporation of lower half. Right-handed hitter, starts with an upright and even stance with a high hand set and back elbow. Toe tap trigger for timing, shows bat speed through the zone, opens front side early and creates length occasionally. Good jump off barrel when he stays through the ball, shows bat speed with extension through the zone and hard contact with nice carry up the middle. Very good student.
