Saturday baseball is underway between the Jefferson CityKnights 14u and Us Nationals Gibson 14u.
Knights SP Malmstrom shows off a firm fastball from the left side in the first and is able to work himself out of a jam thanks to two K’s and a back pick.

Malmstrom is getting it done on both sides of the ball this morning for the Knights!
He rips this RBI triple down the left field line to extend the Knights lead.

‘29 OF/LHP @MaxMalm22 14U National
At 6’2 175, it’s one of the highest raw power/power pro. ceilings in class. Equal talent as LHP, 2nd best long jumper in country, and standout WR. Able to get into launch by release while continuing to maximize space created and fluidity in the load during fwd move. Noticeable increase in connection & fast twitch on turn in ‘25.
Not exactly baseball related, but it’s not often you have the #1/2 long jumper in the country on your 14U National team.

‘29 OF/RHP @MaxMalm22 14U Nat’l
6’2 170 w/ coat hanger shoulders and standout athleticism, it’s easy to dream on plus or better raw power & arm. Faced 5 nationally ranked arms at #WWBAWorlds and came away w/ 6 barrels. Saved 2 runs from RF in the clutch, pinpoint accuracy 🎯
Obstructed view unfortunately but Max Malmstrom (‘29, MO) crushed this pitch. Smoked an RBI Triple the other way. Top-rated 2029 prospect in his state has good physicality and intriguing actions. #WWBAWorlds@Florida_PG@WowFactorNation

•Front arm brings hands above top of zone pitch, back shoulder+hip 2 ⚾️
‘29 OF/LHP Max Malmstrom🔒w/ 14U National‼️
Can leave yard in blink of an eye. Adv. upper half stack creates incline angle in hips+shoulders for easy loft. Broad shouldered, 6’1 160 running 7.1 60 yd brings value all 3 OF spots. Mound ceiling just as high, 77-79 T80 feel 2 spin.
