Matthew Becker

South Carolina

Becker possesses one of the best breaking ball in the 2024 class, a hellish bender with massive depth and sweep that he's willing to deploy against lefties and righties. It's comfortably a plus curveball and he's found a ton of success with it already. The fastball can sneak up to 94, but more commonly sits 90-92 with some hop and deception off the curveball. He works in the occasional sinker, and can flip over a pretty fringy changeup, though all of his pitches have seen a significant increase in effectiveness since getting to campus. Becker is held back a bit by his fastball command, but if that develops, he's got the makings of a starter with three pitches at the next level, including a weapon out-pitch in the curveball.
