Getting ready for a great week in Hoover. I will be throwing a bullpen during the USA Prime National Showcase on Friday the 10th. I am also getting the game 3 start on Monday the 13th. Blessed to be able to compete again with these guys. @k_pickett11 @usaprimefla @USAPrimeNat

[Perfect Game Scout @PG_Scouting]

Max Hakel (‘27 FL) was up to 86 in relief working well down the mound with good command behind his stuff mixing in a CB with good tight break. @PG_Uncommitted #WWBA @Florida_PG

[Max Hakel @maxhakel_]

Another solid day on the bump getting the win in relief. Lots of fastballs today working at 86-87. Also used some sinkers and a couple sweepers which produced punch outs. Great defensive play behind me in a fun team win. 2 IP, 2 K’s, 2 H, 1 ER. @k_pickett11 @usaprimefla

[Max Hakel @maxhakel_]

First outing of WWBA was out of the bullpen. Lots of good to take away from this one as well as some learning points. Sat 86-87 topping 88 and paring a sweeper and sinker which both produced weak contact. 2 IP, 1 K, 1 hit, 0 ER. @k_pickett11 @usaprimefla @USAPrimeNat

[Max Hakel @maxhakel_]

Here’s my schedule for the Perfect Game WWBA National Championship with USA Prime American 17u. Super excited to get back on the field with this talented group and compete against great competition. @k_pickett11 @usaprimefla

[Max Hakel @maxhakel_]

Got the opportunity to get some work in on a Sunday afternoon. Working on game situations with runners on and overall filling up the zone from the stretch. Big thanks to @GrahamButler35 for taking the time to catch me. @k_pickett11 @usaprimefla
@USAPrimeNat @USAPrimeREC

[Max Hakel @maxhakel_]

Here’s some quick videos from one of my preseason bullpens. Working on staying in the zone and getting good feel of multiple grips. Really looking forward to this spring season and a big summer ahead with the @USAPrimeNat American 17u team. @k_pickett11
