Top 10 New Mexico HS baseball players in Class of 2024
1. Zach Kmatz, RHP, Sandia
Pitching velocity is valued at all levels on the diamond. Kmatz is a solid example of this.
He was lightly recruited 鈥� mainly fielding small-school offers 鈥� prior to reaching 92 miles per hour on the radar gun as a junior early last season. After hitting that mark, programs such as TCU and Oregon State began courting him.
Kmatz, a right-hander, is committed to playing for the latter, where his older brother, Jacob, is part of the starting rotation. Last spring, the 6-foot-3, 205-pound Kmatz posted an impressive 1.58 ERA and fanned 61 batters for Sandia High School. In the state quarterfinals, he blanked La Cueva.
Zach Kmatz (鈥�24, NM) has shown the ability to keep hitters off balance and generate whiffs fairly often. FB has sat 88-91 mph w/ slight ASR. Shows feel for a tight SL at 79-82 mph. Has flashed CH at 83-85 mph as well. commit
