12/27/2012 - Baseball Factory Christmas Camp & Tournament at Vero Beach Max is a big strong kid that shows a lot of potential. In the field, he shows above average footwork around the bag with good awareness and presents a big target. He has a good feel for the game and positions himself well. He can continue to focus on improving overall foot speed to help with routes and angles to the ball. On the mound, Max continues to show a solid balance point with good separation. He does a good job competing in the zone but will need to work on developing a secondary pitch. Pitching grades will improve as he finishes his pitches getting more extension ( Towel drill will help with this). At the plate, Max shows the most potential, flashing power from gap to gap. He is a strong kid who lets the ball travel, which allows him to use the opposite field. His lower half is strong and he makes consistent contact. He can focus on making sure he gets his front foot down in enough time to attack the inside pitch. Overall, Max showed that he is very coachable, responding well to the instruction that he was given. This will go a long way as he keeps his overall baseball skills.
