Matthew Crownover has been a fixture on the summer circuit for quite a while.

He has been one of the most highly thought of 2012 pitching prospects for the last few years.
There is no doubt that Crownover knows how to pitch. He spots all of his pitches well. Crownover has a 3/4 arm slot and does a good job repeating his delivery.
Crownover delivers his fastball from 88-91 with good movement and has been clocked as high as 94. His change is a potential plus pitch that he throws with good arm speed. He also throws a low 70′s curve.
