Brennan
Malone

Malone has a projectable 6-foot, 175 pound frame. The left-handed hitting infielder/outfielder had an exit velocity of 80 mph off the tee.  He hits out of a wide, slightly open stance, with the hands just off the back shoulder.  He uses a knee slide to shift the weight to the back leg and pushes the hands back, into a strong launch position. As the swing begins, the bat-speed and pop are instantly noticeable.  He stays through contact on the same plane, creating carry after contact.  

Defensively, he shows good actions in the outfield, as well as in the infield. The feet are light and he moves well laterally. In the outfield, he was 78 mph on his throws, with a good transition from fielding to the throwing position. He created a good line with the target and extended well through his throws. In the infield, his feet move well getting him into a balanced fielding position. He breaks down well behind the ball, with the glove out front. He transitions well through the ground ball, and gets into a strong throwing position. At this event, he was 72 mph on his throws in the infield. He works through the ground ball and finishes through the play on a good line.

On the mound, this physical left-hander uses simple mechanics to get to a good balance point. He then uses his strong lower half to drive toward home plate on a good line. He works out of a higher arm slot that creates sink on a fastball that sat 72-74 mph. The breaking pitch is a big overhand curveball, with tight spin at 63-64 mph. He also showed the feel for a change-up at 65 mph.
