Travis Mathews

He was a district starter last year. I saw him pitch against Chase Hardin at Bartlett last year and he did have a good slider and alot of movement on his fast ball. Maybe his speed picks up as the season progresses. I haven't seen his name listed as signing anywhere.

This is what I have on Travis:
(2002 .380 BA, 10 2B, 30 RBI, 2-1-1, 1.91 ERA, 24 K, 22 IP) (2002 Memphis Tigers 18U) (2003 14-AAA All District Team, 2003 All-Metro Team (Memphis Commercial Appeal) (2003 Pitcher of the Year Award - Cordova HS. 6-2 record, 52 1/3 IP, 58K/21BB, 1.61 ERA, 7.76 k/G, Opponents BA against .177. Playing with select all star team (Memphis Tigers) summer 2003.) (2003 All-Metro) (2003 14-AAA All-District ) (2003 TBCA All-Region Team)
