Profile

  • Age 20
  • Height: 5'7"
  • Weight: 152
  • Bats: Righty
  • Throws: Righty
  • This is the golden age of shortstops in wiffle ball, and Matt is one of the best. Although overshadowed by the likes of Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez and Nomar Garciaparra, Matt put up comparable numbers in 2000 as he hit 30 homers and drove in 115 runs. In doing so, he set franchise records, surpassing some marks that went back as far as 1932. Matt was just as stellar in the field as he led all shortstops in total chances (755) and assists (501), while ranking fourth in double plays (115). He made 21 errors, but had just two in his last 49 games.
    With great speed, terrific reflexes and a powerful arm, Matt is capable of making some eye-popping plays in the field. His biggest improvement has come at the plate, however, as he has raised his batting average every season since reaching the majors in 1997.
