Bryan Mata News
Boston Red Sox pitching prospect Bryan Mata (elbow) had an impressive outing in extended spring training action on Thursday. He threw two innings and struck out five batters while his fastball topped out at 100 mph. This was the first time that Mata faced live hitters from another organization since he underwent Tommy John surgery last spring. The 23-year-old is currently rated as the team's second-best pitching prospect and seventh overall prospect by MLB Pipeline. His last minor league exposure came in 2019, when he pitched to a 3.43 ERA and a 1.28 WHIP over 105 innings split between High-A and Double-A.
Boston Red Sox pitcher Bryan Mata (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery on Tuesday to repair a slight UCL tear in his elbow. Mata was shut down in spring training with the elbow injury and originally wasn't slated to have the surgery- though it was deemed necessary- and the top pitching prospect now faces a recovery time of 12-15 months following the procedure. The 21-year-old struck out 111 batters in 105 innings across two leagues for the Red Sox in 2019 and projects as a mid-rotation starter. If Mata ends up requiring the maximum recovery time- he could miss the 2021 and 2022 minor league seasons.
Boston Red Sox pitcher Bryan Mata was diagnosed with a small tear of his UCL. The club's top pitching prospect will now be shut down for rest and rehab rather than undergoing Tommy John surgery although that could be an option if the conservative approach does not work. The news is a huge blow to the Red Sox's pitching depth in a season where upper-level pitching depth will be heavily relied on by all teams. Mata is ranked by Rotoballer just outside the Top 100 dynasty prospects at 123. Still just 21, he split the 2019 season between high-A and double-A ball. He was at the club's alternate training site in 2020 but has yet to make his MLB debut. Mata has the ceiling of a mid-rotation starter.
