RHP Maxwell Lubenow (Madison West, 2027): Possesses an imposing and highly projectable 6-foot-2, 187-pound frame. The right-hander features a balanced and repeatable delivery as he works his arsenal to home plate. His fastball sat 89-90 mph with feel to get the ball through all four quadrants. His curveball played at 75-77 mph (2,483 rpm) with two plane tilting break in the zone with sharp and late quality to the pitch making it a legitimate out-pitch weapon. He can comfortably land the pitch for strikes or bury below the zone. He rounds out a dynamic three-pitch mix with a firm changeup that sits 81-82 mph (1,994 rpm), displaying late bottoming action and 15.4 inches of horizontal movement while being thrown with heavy fastball intent. Lubenow is an arm our staff is excited about viewing this spring.

+ Maxwell Lubenow, RHP (Madison West): Perhaps this biggest winner of the event, the long-levered 6-foot-3, 186-pound right-hander showed easy arm speed and feel for an advanced arsenal while challenging and beating hitters in the zone. Easy stretch-only delivery with repeatability, features a high leg-lift, drops back leg and utilizes his frame to gain ground, hard but controlled follow through and throws out of a high 3/4 slot with a whippy arm. His primary offering was a 86-88 mph FB (T89) that came with lively arm-side run. The righty also offered a 73-76 mph curveball with sharp 11/5 bite, with the two offerings allowing him to strike out three batters in his two innings of work.

+ RHP Maxwell Lubenow (Madison West, 2027) showed an intriguing profile on the mound with physicality to project on. The 6-foot-3 right-hander worked exclusively from the stretch, the sophomore would show deceptive actions with a cross-fire 3/4 release while coming from a shorter arm path. Lubenow would sit in the low-80s with both his four-seam and two-seam with ride up in the zone with the former and some sink on the latter. The curveball sat 69-72 mph with short break. Lubenow also showed feel for a 77-78 mph changeup would tunnel well off the four-seam as he maintained arm-speed with the offering throughout his bullpen.
