INF Madden Cotts (Libertyville, 2027) has made some noticeable strides since our last look a year ago. The left-handed hitter took one of the better rounds of BP on the day with quick hands and a flatter path through the zone, showing an athletic and handsy swing with some looseness throughout, creating sneaky jump off the barrel from his 5-foot-8, 153-pound frame with a max EV of 97 mph. He also put up notable BLAST metrics with an average bat-speed of 73.3 mph and average hand-speed of 22 mph. Cotts then impressed during defense; showing some natural actions and feel for playing on the infield. He gets around the ball to get his momentum moving toward first, utilizing a two-hand funnel into his body, and showing rangy actions as well. His arm was loose and whippy, flashing arm speed at times, topping at 83 mph.
Positional Profile: SS/RHP
Body: 5-8, 155 pounds. Compact frame with some present strength throughout.
Hit: LHH. Slightly crouched setup, high leg lift, short stride. Quick hands, flatter path, athletic and handsy, balanced through swing. 73.3 mph bat speed with 10g of rotational acceleration.
