BP Annual Player Comments

Year		Comment
2015		Matt West is a hard-throwing right-hander who was converted from third base to the mound in 2011 and surfaced in the majors for three appearances last season.
2014		Fireballing reliever Matt West will look to rediscover his mid-upper-90s heat as he returns from Tommy John surgery in 2014.
2013		A second-round pick as an infielder in 2007, West converted to the mound during spring training in 2011 and quickly established himself as a legitimate late-inning relief prospect with mid-to-upper-90s velocity and a plus slider. The native Texan appeared to be on the fast track to the major-league bullpen as spring training approached last March, but he was sidetracked by an elbow injury that ultimately required Tommy John surgery. After struggling through 17 appearances at High-A Myrtle Beach last season, the 24-year-old righty finally underwent surgery in August and is expected to miss the bulk of 2013.
2012		Originally drafted as a third baseman in the second round of the 2007 amateur draft, West struggled to find a home for his raw tools as a position player. Converted to the mound during spring training of 2011, the Texas native immediately flashed his promise, sitting in the mid-90s with his fastball and touching 99 out of the chute. After a dominating performance in the short-season Northwest League, the 23-year-old reliever (nee third baseman) was added to the 40-man roster and expected to move fast in his current role. With an explosive plus-plus fastball, a wipeout slider, sharp command, and a late-innings demeanor, West profiles as a closer at the highest level.
