Maximo
Martinez

California State Games - USC commit; Was already having an impressive showing as a position player with talent that shines and will draw attention (96.2 max EV, 44% hard hit %, 56% sweet spot, 44% line drives, 72.3 max bat speed, 67% on plane efficiency, 81 mph INF throw) but it was when he stepped on the mound that illuminated his status as a standout at the event. FB peaked at 90.7 mph, highest of the weekend, with 2298 max spin and 16.9 avg IVB. The arm is easy, the body control is good, the delivery is repeatable. Slider 75-79 mph with a peak of 81 mph, spin can tighten up a little as evidenced by max 2241 spin. Given that he's a rising junior, the future is quite bright.

Positional Profile: SS/RHP
Body: 5-11, 165-pounds. Well-proportioned athletic build. Room to add physical gains.
Hit: RHH. Slightly open with rhythmic hands in stance. Uses a mild leg kick trigger as his bat works into a slight tip. Hands are loose and quick in the swing working inside the ball and on a level path (76% on-plane efficiency). Stayed middle of the field to left-center throughout his round. 
Power: 89.00 max exit velocity, Gap to gap doubles power. Bat speed avg. of 70 mph is above average for his level shows a decent power floor to build off.
Arm: RH. INF - 79.00 mph. Short arm action. Quick to release. Easy arm strength. 5/5 accurate during defensive workout.
Defense: Confident fielder. Light feet that play through the ball with good heel-toe actions. Soft hands with quick exchanges allows for good glove-glove times. Ability to stay at SS.
Run: 6.98 runner in the 60.

Delivery: Clean and efficient delivery, little wasted movement. Medium-high leg kick, stable head and feet. Rides the slope extremely well, stays connected to the ground while moving out. Clean hand break and unload into landing.
Arm Action: RH. Shorter arm stroke, that is whippy and floats up with ease. This helps him accelerate and pull the ball through release. Semi-high slot aids in creating plus ball flight characteristics.
FB: T87, 85-87 mph. Average 85.5 mph with 20.3" of induced vertical break. This combination of movement and velocity should be a problem for HS hitters up in the zone. Also averaged 12.6" of horizontal movement.
SL: 73-75 mph. Shorter, tight slider with positive induced vertical break and slight sweep (2.7" of horizontal movement). Due to this and the velocity, this pitch should tunnel well out of the hand with the FB from a metric standpoint.
CH: 69-71 mph. Above-average pitch metrically. 15 mph velocity difference combined with a 13" difference in IVB make this pitch an outlier within the arsenal. If located down, should have considerable success with this pitch.
