High back elbow with hands set above ear height closer to his head with waggle in the hands/bat. Shifts back into rear hip to start load with a toe tap on his front foot to reach launch positon.

Hands are quick to the zone with an uphill bat path that produces lift with carry. 67.8 mph bat speed with 8 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 100 max exit velocity, averaged 86.7 mph. 304' max distance. The uphill bat path and present top end EV gives him plenty of power projection. Ball carries, but some inconsistency to contact quality. Profiles to have middle/pull side of the field HR power.
Arm: RH. C-82 mph. Clean quick transfer at the chest slightly off his body. Arm path is compact getting up on the backside quickly with strong present arm speed and carry to his throws. Profiles as an impact thrower behind the dish.
Defense: 1.90-2.00 pop times. Polished in his receiving with impressive mobility for his size and ability to block Madrid looks like a high level defender at a premium spot.
ATH: 7.32 runner in the 60. Stays low to drive off the line while showing body control and stride length throughout. Can clean up upper body mechanics to reach potential.
Madrid catches your eyes immediately when you see him checking in at 6’4 210 lbs with athletic build that still has room to add strength to present physicality. A solid athlete for size who runs a 7.3 60 and has good body control throughout his tools. On defense it’s an impressive profile with easy actions receiving and good mobility to move in his lower 1/2 to set up and block. The arm is real with 83 mph C velocity and 1.9 - 2.0 pops and on the bag with throws. He is confident in game with everything he does behind the dish. But, when the RH hitter steps to the dish it’s an intriguing profile. With present bat speed to an uphill path it’s easy to dream on his power and Madrid hits the ball hard with authority often reaching 100 MPH and in game rocketed a ball off the LF wall for a double. Plus the talented ‘26 got in the bump reaching 87 mph on his FB while attacking the zone and flashing an interesting SLD.
