8/12/18 Right-handed pitching prospect in the ‘19 class. Long lever type on the mound with an ideal pitchers frame. Length allows him to get down the mound well with extension. Works exclusively from the stretch, showing the ability to repeat his delivery. Combination of quick arm action and velo make the fastball get on hitters quickly. Fastball was anywhere from 79-83 mph with slight arm side action. Complements fastball with an 11/5 shaped breaking ball that has signs of sharpness and was in the zone regularly at 65-69 mph.
7/5/17 Malhi has great pitchers frame at 6-foot-2, 195-pounds with long limbs and room to add muscle to frame. Worked two innings at the FGT and was able to create good angles with all three of his pitches. Arm has some length in the back but stays fluid and moving to allow him to work out front. Fastball was 81-83 mph with angle and some arm side run, more in the tank and can get more off his backside and lengthen his stride. Showed feel for his breaking ball that would get caught between 11/5 and 10/4 shape. Changeup has makings of a solid pitch with some diving action at 69-71 mph that generated swings and misses. With the big tall frame, long arms, clean actions and lots of room to grow and develop, Malhi will be one to follow as he looks to make that next step in his development.
