Tyler
Maddix

Physical: Athletic 6-foot, 150lb frame with tons of two-way feel. 6.98 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH - Wider, balanced stance with the knees facing inward as the hands operated in rhythm. Utilized a leg-kick stride to initiate the bat-head through a flat, direct path into the hitting zone. Turned the upper half across the body at times in the movement, but still kept extension and direction for a balanced approach to both gaps. Recorded a T84 mph bat-exit velocity with good contact in-game action, en route to doubles power on occasion (288 foot batted ball via Trackman). Always on-time at the front of the plate and attacked FB’s early in counts. 

Defensively: The primary outfielder stayed behind the ball with quick reads and attacking pace. Fielded off his right hip with downhill momentum over the toes and a clean-phasing release from a H ¾ slot (fluid arm circle, accurate, 82 mph arm). Can slot into a centerfield role down the line with advanced feel.

Pitching: LHP - Begins from the stretch-only off the center of the rubber. Utilized a moderate leg-lift with hip-coil at the stack, gaining moderate depth on the backside into a smooth ¾ slot at release. Created good timing starting with the hand-break, and repeated well during his outing. The FB landed from 77-79, T82 mph with hard arm-side run, mixing a short sweeping 67-69 mph CB. Dropped in a comfortable lower 70’s CH that tunnelled well off the FB.

Physical: 5-foot-10, 145 pounds; Lean, athletic build. 7.14 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Even setup, with feet just outside his shoulders; flat bat to start. Drops hands on the way back with a knee knock leg kick for timing. Drifts into contact while showing an average effort from the legs. Showed a compact swing path with a one-handed finish.  More line drives than flyballs and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 81 MPH via Trackman.

Defensively: Starts with an upright /tall setup; uses prep hop while fluid actions to the baseball. Hands work through the ball with a seamless transfer. Long arm swing  from a high/over the top arm slot.    OF - 82 MPH.

Pitching: Maddix uses a center rubber setup working primarily from the stretch. Belt high leg drive with a slight coil away from the plate. Has a moderate stride landing inline with the plate. Short take back while arm stays in line with 2B, while working through a high/over the top slot. Square to the plate with finish. FB: Peak velo of 78 MPH, while sitting 75-78 MPH; arm side run with sink. CB: 63-64 MPH; 1-7 shape.  CH: 63-64 MPH; fading action.
