Mallison

The 5-8 150 pound MIF is a good athlete running a 6.9 60. Defensively, Mallison has soft hands and good footwork. He turns the double play with a good exchange and an average arm. Offensively he has a short compact swing from the left-side. He has shown the ability to hit the ball the other way on a consistent basis. I would like to see him use more lower half on pitches on the inner third.

Mallison, a 5-foot-8 160-pound second baseman, stole the show during batting practice. He had two good rounds squaring up every ball and staying inside balls on the inner third driving them, showing doubles power. He starts from an open stance, however he gets everything online and maintains good balance through extension. Mallison has an advanced approach couple that with fast bat speed, line drive swing, he is ready to be one of the most consistent hitters of the 2015 class. Defensively, he was impressive also. He shows an average arm that is accurate. He makes up for whatever arm strength he is lacking with a quick and clean exchange. His footwork is fluid and plays through balls consistently.
