Malicoat, a high-pitchability righty, leaned on one of the day’s better breaking balls, flashing an advanced swing-and-miss slider at 73-75 mph with heavy break (2,800+ RPM, -21.6” HM). It served as a true go-to out pitch, helping him rack up four strikeouts in two innings of work. His fastball played at 81-83 mph with 2,500 RPM, and he mixed in a 77 mph changeup along with a developing 79 mph cutter.
