Drafted in the 3rd round (93rd overall) by the Cleveland Guardians in 2015 (signed for $550,000)
Mathias jumped to the fore in 2014. After playing just 17 games as a freshman, he hit .386 as a junior to lead the Big West Conference. He earned a spot on USA Baseball's Collegiate National Team, playing first, second and third base and often hitting in the middle of the order. However, Mathias injured the labrum in his right shoulder during the summer, and a fall of rest and rehab didn't help enough. He had surgery in December, missed 10 of Cal Poly's first 11 games and didn't play in the field until March 31 after 17 games as a DH. Mathias' power has sagged a bit, due in part to the shoulder, but he continues to control the strike zone and make contact at a high rate from his low-hands stance. Mathias has to hit, because his other tools--including power--are unremarkable. He's a fringy defender and runner, but his hitting ability stands out in the class.
