Mata’Afa-Alferos is one of the top Hawaiian prospects in the 2025 class. A 5-foot-11, 165-pound shortstop and lefthanded hitter, Mata’Afa-Alferos stands out more for his glovework than his hitting ability now. He’s a fluid defender with good hands, middle infield actions and plus arm strength that should allow him to stick at the position and potentially be an impact defender there. Teams need to project more on his offense. There are moving parts in his lefthanded swing and he can be overly aggressive in his swing decisions, with more swing-and-miss tendencies than you’d like for a hitter with his below-average raw power. He’s on the older side for the class and will be 19 on draft day and a draft-eligible sophomore if he makes it to campus at Oregon.
