Jayden Malone, OF, Metea Valley (IL), 2023
True freshman. 5-foot-10, 180-pound frame, athletic with room to add on strength. Started his day by cruising to a 6.94 in the 60, athletic strides that translate to the outfield with easy range. The right-handed hitter stays short and direct to the ball with above-average BLAST metrics; averaging 25.5 mph (T26.3) for his hand-speed, 77 mph for his bat-speed (T79.1 mph) and 28.3 for his rotational acceleration (T31.8).
OF Jayden Malone (Metea Valley, 2023) was a winner offensively, starting with a quality showing in BP. Malone, who averaged the highest hand speed of any prospect in attendance at 25.9 mph, worked direct to contact with a short, quick right-handed stroke that produced quality line drive contact to all fields. He showed that knack for contact in game, finding the barrel a few times in game one and working a deep count against high-end velocity on day two before lining out to second base.
Positional Profile: OF
Body: 5-10, 180-pounds. Muscle-bound build with twitchy, strong hands.
Hits: RHH. Balanced, quiet setup, minimal load and hits off front foot. Advanced hand speed, creates bat speed and easy jump off the barrel. Bat stays flat and creates occasional bat strength to both gaps.

Arm: RH. OF-77 mph. Loose athletic arm, high 3/4 slot, full arm action
Defense: Proper routes, fields through the baseball, fluid and clean actions, crow hop to release

Vizual Edge: 63.71 Edge Score
Malone, a 5-foot-10, 180-pound, right-handed hitter, stays quiet throughout letting the ball travel deep into the hitting zone. He stays short, quick and strong through contact with present twitch and bat speed. Malone has advanced hand speed, leading the event in a wide margin at an average of 25.7 mph. He also showed off the top rotational acceleration by a wide margin as well. Malones furthest ball off the bat traveled 344 feet. He also takes confident, concise routes in the outfield, topping at 78 mph and running a 7.05 60.
Positional Profile: OF
Body: 5-10, 180-pounds. Rounder shoulders, athletic build with evenly distributed weight.
Hit: RHH. Crouched, balanced setup, slight leg lift load. Dives, loose, short twitchy swing, strength to the pull side, strong, on the barrel consistently.

Run: 7.05 runner in the 60.
OF Jayden Malone (Metea Valley, 2023). Malone has a 5-foot-10, 180-pound, muscular, athletic frame and creates a lot of jump off the barrel thanks to elite hand speed; led the event in average hand speed at 26.9 mph.

Positional Profile: 1B/OF
Body: 5-10, 175-pounds.
