Marcus Maeder big physical kid with a loud first AB triple in the right center field gap. There’s ample feel for the barrel with big time strength at impact. Swing is in rhtyhm and extends well to the point of contact. Later came around to score.
Garret Allen, Inf/RHP, Anaheim, CA (2024). The physical and athletic Allen showcased some enticing tools both in the box and on the mound in Game 1. The strength was evident when he drove one to left that was knocked down by uncommon gusts in Irvine. On the bump, Allen showed a nice compact delivery, ran the fastball to 81 showing solid secondaries with a tight curveball up to 2300’s and a tumbling spitter on which he shattered a bat.
Gamaliel Martinez, OF, Arrowhead Christian Academy Class of 2024. After registering one of the top outfield velocities at 84 in the workout, Martinez threw a seed to the plate in attempt to gun down base runner. Showed good carry and a long hop, but the catcher couldn’t handle the throw for the putout.
Marcus Maeder, RHP, Meadow Vista, CA. Lean 6’4” frame with plenty of room to fill in. Attacked hitters with steep downhill angle running fastball to 86 (spin in to 2400’s). With spin in the 2800’s, the slider was a difference maker showing late action that gave hitters fits. Struck out the side in first frame of work. Lost some command later in to the outing, but ended up striking out _6 over 3 frames of work.
Jacob Magna, RHP, Harvard Westlake High School Cass of 2024. Physical 6’3” righty, attacked hitters w/ low 80’s fastball and breaking ball 70-73. The breaker showed short lateral action action early with more depth in to the outing. Minimized hard contact and used the fastball up in the zone of put away hitters.
