Rays 14th Round Pick - 450th Overall: Matt Young

A JuCo outfielder from California. Can't really find much on him right now.

[Edit] Thanks to Chris Sullivan in the comments:

Matt Young: Compton College, Sophomore, CF
Bats: R, Throws: R, Height: 6-3, Weight: 215
2011 stats: .428 BA, 3 HR, 24 RBI, 22 SB, 35 G
Notes: Takaragawa believes Young "has the potential to have Alex Rodriguez-type power." For now, he has good range and a solid throwing arm for a center fielder, but needs to work on reading balls off the bat. At the plate, he has good power but also a short swing that allows him to put the ball in play.
