Matthew LePoint<\/a> can throw the rock and college coaches are noticing.<\/p>\n

\"LaPoint<\/a>
LaPoint can bring the heat, but he also has a deadly change-up and effective slider.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The 6-foot-one, 195-pound right-hander consistently rings the bell in the mid-80’s and\u00a0recently hit 90 at\u00a0the\u00a0Florida Baseball Ranch<\/a> in Plant City, Florida. Florida Baseball Ranch is a well-regarded facility where Matt is\u00a0learning, among other key things, how to more effectively engage his lower half. You can bet that more 90’s are\u00a0on the way.<\/p>\n

A three-time All-Area selection at Port Charlotte High School<\/a> in Punta Gorda, Florida, Matt was named All-Area Player of the Year following an outstanding junior campaign in which he had a 6-2 record while posting a 1.85 ERA. That came on the coattails of a no-no he threw in the state playoffs his sophomore year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sporting a 3.2 GPA, LePoint brings it in the classroom as well.<\/p>\n

All that is good news to a number of interested NCAA Division I programs knocking on his door.<\/p>\n

Said LePoint, “I am never satisfied and continually strive to improve. I am currently enrolled at the Florida Baseball Ranch learning how to improve on my delivery. As a result, the velocity of my fastball has increased and I am learning how to pitch even better. I am committed to playing college baseball and I look forward to the opportunity to prove myself at the next level.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Matt’s NSR scout, Chris Hunt<\/a>, is a strong believer in the young pitcher, too.<\/p>\n

“There is no question in my mind that Matt will be successful at the college level. He is a very hard worker and is an intense competitor on the mound. Several D-I schools have already been in touch with him and as his velocity hits 90 MPH more consistently, others will get in line, too,” exclaimed Hunt.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
