Notes

3/01/25
Malloy is a 5-foot-11, 175-pound SS/RHP and true gamer with a well-rounded profile. He’s a glove-first defender with athletic, confident actions and an 86 mph arm across the diamond. Offensively, Malloy’s short, athletic swing shows sneaky juice and feel to hit — recording a 95 mph max exit velocity and averaging 82.7 mph off the bat. On the mound, he’s a strike-thrower with a fastball up to 86 mph and a tight, feel-for spin slider that pairs well with a changeup and curveball. Malloy plays with energy and polish, and his two-way versatility makes him an interesting follow in the class.
