Simpson is a Towson commit. He has a tall lankier athletic frame with plenty of room to add strength and plenty of projection left to him. Throws from a three-quarters arm slot short loose very quick arm action and easy effort to his delivery. Fastball was 82-83, touching 84, pitch has some downward plane and a bit of late cut to it. Curveball was 72-73 with good armspeed.

Maxwell Simpson C St. John’s College 2021
Strong projectable frame standing 6-foot-3, 205-pounds. At the plate starts on line with a wider athletic base. Small leg lift, hands load back with a slight bat wrap, and lands on line at stride. Swing path is slightly uphill and showed some gap to gap power potential at the plate with an 86 mph exit velocity. Behind the plate used a quick jab step to get in line with the throw, clean exchange, and a short arm action. Displayed some accuracy around the bag and some arm strength to go with it. Put up a 73 mph positional velocity and pop times ranged from 2.08-2.14.
