5-foot-7, 165 pounds, average frame with some strength. Will need to focus on conditioning to increase footspeed for infield play. Ran an 8.25 sixty yard dash. As a right-handed hitter, Mallinson stands even in the box with a wide base, a little more than shoulder width apart. The hands start at the shoulders before rocking into hitting position letter high. He has a small step towards the ball in his swing. Gets the barrel head out with some elevation in the swing, finishes strong with one hand. Proving bat-to-ball skills against velocity this season could help his stock, as he stays balanced and controlled. Posted an exit velocity of 74 MPH off the tee. On defense, Mallinson moved his feet well laterally, getting in front of the ball in a ready position to make a play. Should continue developing footwork in the infield. Short, clean arm stroke from a high ¾ slot. Throws across the diamond were measured up to 70 MPH.
60 Time: 8.25
Exit Velocity: 74 MPH
Position Velocity - Infield: 70 MPH
