Max
Manning

Uncommitted; played the outfield vs Branson School in this game. He contributed to a team no-hitter in his last outing just the other day and likely is a pitcher long term, but he's an athletic player, is still developing his lanky body and there are tools to take note of as a position player. Roams the outfield gracefully, with good reads and confident breaks on the ball. The arm is above average and potentially plus at some point. At the plate he has good contact skills while hitting from a fairly pronounced crouch. In some ways he looks a little defensive at the plate. Has solid barrel awareness and enough speed to cause problems for the defense. Competitive at-bats though showed he can still improve with the bunt game. Not many high school players are truly two-way prospects but he is and hopefully gets a chance to continue to evolve as a position player before colleges decide he's just a pitcher.
