Right-handed pitcher pitched out of the bullpen in 2022
CONWAY, S.C. – Coastal Carolina right-handed pitcher Jacob Maton signed an undrafted free agent deal with the Texas Rangers organization.
Â
Maton, who did not take the mound in his first two years as a Chanticleer in 2019 and 2020 due to an injury and the COVID-19 pandemic, got stronger as his career continued in each of the last two seasons.
Â
In 2022, Maton came out of the bullpen all season long for the Chants, going 1-1 with three saves and a 3.41 ERA over a team-high 25 appearances on the mound. He fanned 30 batters over 29.0 innings pitched and did not allow an earned run over his first 15.1 innings on the season.
Â
Over his two years on the mound for Coastal, he was 3-4 with three saves and a 5.24 ERA over 40 appearances, which included nine starts in 2021. He fanned 75 batters over 77.1 innings pitched.
Â
Maton joins his two brothers, Phil and Nick, as professional baseball players. Phil is a right-handed pitcher for the Houston Astros, while Nick is an infielder in the Philadelphia Phillies organization.
