Matthew Lord is a 2019 SS/2B who attends Barron Collier High School in Naples, FL and plays travel ball for the 2019 Florida Burn Uhit.  Defensively, Matthew is solid up the middle making all the routine plays with an IF velo of 80.  He is sure handed with a quick glove to hand transfer and an accurate arm.  Matthew does not play on his heels, anticipates the ball being hit to him and comes and gets the ball.  He also has nice range both to his left and right.  Around the bag, Matthew has very good footwork and turns double plays solidly. At the plate, Matthew uses a gap to gap approach and sprays the ball over the field.  He is working on shortening his swing and getting inside the baseball more consistently.  He possesses 6.9 speed and runs the bases very well.  As his approach matures at the plate, Matthew will become a more consistent hitter.
