Scouting report

Madden's velocity has been up and down the last few years. He was up to 98 in the Fall before his freshman year, then dipped into the high-80s during the spring of 2019 before he was shut down with a shoulder injury. He was back into the mid-90s during the early part of 2020 and touching the upper-90s during Texas' fall practices. It's unclear whether that velo will hold in long outings or throughout a whole season, something Madden has never proven nor had the opportunity to prove. His delivery is very upright and his arm slot very vertical, so he works with downhill angle similar to a treacherous ski slope. That's not necessarily a good thing, as flat approach angles seem to miss more bats. He has a four-pitch mix led by a projected plus slider.
