I am excited to announce that I am committing to University of Richmond to continue my academic and athletic career. Thank you to my parents, coaches, God, and everyone who made this dream possible. Thank you to the Richmond staff who are giving me this opportunity. Go spiders!

Congratulations 2026 @MatthewMcC21 !

[Matthew McCauley @MatthewMcC21]

Grateful for every coach, teammate and organization that helped shape my baseball journey. The memories will last forever.

Special shoutout to Jack Arft for catching every one of my record 82 strikeouts. Couldn’t have done it without you behind the plate.@JackArft17 @a_train_25

This week’s outting in FL. 4IP 4H 7K 2BB 4R @JoshEpstein22 @RichmondBraves @Highland_BSBL

[Prospect Select Scout @PSBaseballScout]

Matthew McCauley (‘26, VA)📝

Impressive stuff from the 6’4” 220lb lefty. High leg lift, effortless motion, and loose arm action from a ¾ slot. FB jumped out of the hand and SL had sharp bite. Filled the zone and generated plenty of swing/miss. FB sat mid 8’s T87. Velo will continue to jump as he develops.

4IP, 5H, 4ER, 2BB, 6Ks

FB - 87 / 2100+ RPM / -7” HB / 12” IVB
SL - 74 / 2100+ RPM / 8 HB/ -9 IVB

Friday was a reminder that I won’t always have my best stuff, my velo might not be all there, my pitches might not have been working as well I as hoped. But I’m still going to give it all I have that day. @PrepBaseballVA @RichmondBraves @JoshEpstein22 @a_train_25 @Higgy_21
