01/07/2022 - 2022 Baseball Factory Pre-Season All-America Tournament (AZ) Makoa continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities at the Under Armour All-America Pre-Season Tournament. Foot speed has improved as he ran his best 60 time to date, now a 6.82 runner. Behind the dish, he presents a soft/sure mitt showing great pocket awareness sticking pitches. Quick lateral movements allow him to center/deaden pitches in the dirt off a soft chest. Pop times have improved as he threw his lowest time to date at 1.90 with accuracy / carry (86 mph velocity) on his throws. Offensively, he continues to shine through a tall setup. He has athletic/smooth actions with fluid rhythm to load. He gets good hand separation through a balanced approach. Hands are quick and work through a level swing path through a line drive approach. Lower half works well through the swing as he transfers weight from backside into a firm front side. At the event, he was 3 for 8.
