01/17/2014 - Under Armour Pre-Season All-America Tournament Malone has a lean, athletic build at 6-foot-2 and 180 pounds. He ran 7.20 in the 60 yard dash, and got down the line in 4.43 from the left side of the plate. He featured a balanced approach to hit, and showed a loose quick left handed stroke. He has some rhythm to hit, gets hands back and lands soft on stride foot - in good position to read and react. Showed ability to get barrel there, and the ball left the wood bat with good life. Behind the plate, he setup with his rear end low and was still able to function fairly well. With a simple adjustment here to get his weight more forward and activated, he stands to improve his quickness out of the chute to throw and down to block by quite a lot. He posted release times between 1.93 and 2.14, throws had some carry down thru the target. He had a little trouble getting his knees clear and down to block, and the same thing caused him some trouble to receive - clearly has the athletic ability to innate skill to work with behind the plate. This along with a quality left handed bat make him an interesting prospect.
