Scouting Report
Maddux Minton, OF/RHP, Livonia HS, NY (2016)
Minton stands an athletic 6-foot-0, 165-pounds. From the OF he stays behind the ball, fields on his glove-side. He uses a clean, quick arm action, throws from a power 3/4 slot, arm strength at 80 mph with carry. At the plate his setup is balanced, wide and athletic. On the pitch he shifts his weight back, small leg lift for timing. He uses a short path to the ball, barrel stays level through the zone, nice long extension out in front, high finish. Exit velocity was 78 mph off a tee. Shows signs of athleticism evidenced from his 7.1 60 yard dash time. From the mound he uses a side step, high knee lift, hands high, break over the rubber. He drops some on back leg driving hard with momentum towards home. Arm action is deep, a little back towards second, but loose and easy, signs of hand speed. His stride is very long, shoulders stay square, some head tilt towards 1B. He needs to work on his finish being more out in front, with more flexibility. He shows next-level hand speed and projection from the mound.
