Scouting Reports
8-16-14 Pitching - Malachowski stands 6-foot-1 185-pounds with a pitchers frame and athletic build. On the mound he uses a high knee lift, hands very high by his face, and leans back some on his back side. He drives forward off a slightly bent back leg with shoulder alignment towards homeplate. He throws from a power high ¾ slot with a fastball sitting 81-83 mph with good life. His curveball shows quick hand speed at 73 mph with 11/7 shape with late bit. He needs to work on finishing his pitches more over his front side to get more extension and action on the ball. Interesting prospect to follow.

SS/Hitting - In the infield he gets to the ball with ease, low effort actions, fields the ball out in front with a fast transfer and throws from a high ¾ slot with 79 arm strength. His size is a plus and his actions are smooth and projectable. At the plate he sets up with his weight shifted on his back leg, hands shoulder height. On the pitch he uses a slight back load, leg lift with small stride and he drives his hands and hips to the ball generating powerful bat speed up 90 mph. He has long extension after contact and a shoulder height balanced finish. Prospect to keep an eye on.
