INF/RHP Clay Maxam (West De Pere, 2028) long and wiry, 6-foot, 155 pounds with a lot of projection left to the build, stood out as one of the top two-way prospects in the 2028 class at this event. The right-handed hitter utilizes an upright setup with a short gather back with feel to work on time, handsy, short, and compact swing with a quick and whippy barrel out front. Impressive barrel control resulted in an average exit velocity of 91.6 mph and a max exit velocity of 96 mph. Defensively, showing feel to field his position cleanly and showed a 86 mph infield velocity across the diamond. On the mound, he works from an easy, controlled delivery with a medium leg kick into a coiled balance point, utilizing a long, loose arm action from a high 3/4 slot with impressive arm speed out front. His fastball sat 85-86 mph, with over 15 inches of horizontal movement on average, with a four-seamer that's clean out of the hand with life, and a two-seamer featuring arm-side run. He complements this with a tight, lateral 10/4 shape slider at 72-76 mph, and a 76-77 mph changeup that maintains arm speed and also boasts elite horizontal break, featuring fade and downer actions.
