    Can someone help an old man out by telling me a little bit about Matt. Obviously, he is an outstanding player

    I will start

    He is a 2010 catcher from Graham High School. He plays his summer and fall baseball with the Dirtbags. Matt is an outstanding catcher who can really throw and hit. And he is a fine young man as well.

    Matt Roberts

    He is a true field leader! Andy has recognized this by making him a Captain. My son played against him for years back in the travel ball circuit and one fall we put
    together a fall team to play some tourneys and Matt
    was on the team. I was very impressed with his maturity and leadership abilities not to mentioned his skill level. Plus we both liked the "John Boy and Billy"
    radio show. Funny how you remember small things about someone.
    Good Luck; we are Happy for you !

    Off subject, but didn't John Boy go to Graham high school?

    This guy is the real deal. 2010 kid from Graham HS. Polite kid and nice parents. Has trained hard at Carolina Acceleration. Probably about 6'1", 185-190lbs. Great defensive catcher an hits very well for power and average. I knew 4 years ago this kid had it. Even the untrained eye could see he was talented. He took that talent and worked hard. He deserves this.
