December 2, 2020
One of the top uncommitted players in the state, RHP/SS Jonah Mahen shows the quick-twitch athletic ability that will allow him to succeed at the next level. Already showing up to 88 on the mound and exit velo, Mahen can hold much more weight on his lean frame. A standout at the 2019 Future Games, the right-handed hitter lead team select in hitting and tossed a couple of scoreless innings on the mound.

Scouting Report
A lean and athletic 5-foot-9, 160-pound frame with room to add size and strength. On the mound, the right-hander works only from the stretch with an up, down, and out leg kick before finishing balanced. Arm action is long and quick in the back with a quick change of direction at the bottom of the arm stroke before coming through a high-¾ slot with arm speed. Fastball did not show the same upper 80s velo we have seen in the past out of Mahen, on this day sitting 81-82 mph, mostly strikes. Curveball flashed late depth with tight spin at 67-69 mph, some strikes. Chageup keeps its plane at 68-69 mph, mostly strikes.
Showcased a lean and twitchy 5-foot-9, 160-pound frame with present athleticism and room to add size and strength as he matures. The right-handed hitter begins with an open stance utilizing a toe-tap stride to initiate his swing. Demonstrated sink into the lower half with solid hip drive allowing for consistent barrel awareness off the tee. Registered an 85 mph bat-exit velocity off the tee and ran a 6.77 60-yard dash flashing his athleticism. The primary shortstop featured a low center of gravity and quick first step that generated advantageous routes to the ball and range to both sides. Arrived on time with regularity to the baseball and used smooth transfers to record accurate throws of 83 mph across the diamond out of a high ¾ arm-slot.
