Mark Macklin is a 2026 OF/RHP, UT with a 6-1 165 lb. frame from Katy, TX who attends Fulshear. Primary outfielder with a lean athletic build. Showed good speed with a 6.81 second sixty. Chops the feet on the approach to the ball fielding it on the side and looking to create momentum into the throws. Ball comes out of the hand Lowe with good arm speed producing 86 mph throws with solid accuracy to the plate. Waits back on the ball on the infield, playing it deeper on the body with a clean funnel. Gets rid of the ball on time with a short compact arm action and easier carry across the diamond. Throws from the stretch only on the mound with the hands set a the belt and following the leg up on the leg lift. Arm works on a shorter track through the back to a high three-quarters arm slot. Has some drop and drive on the back side with a fastball that topped out at 82 mph. Curveball was the second most used offering with young shape in the mid 60's that will sharpen up as he continues to mature. Right-handed hitter, starts with an even base and open stance. Gets the bat through the zone with intent from the hand speed after a hanging leg lift trigger. Was able to get to contact out front on time consistently while driving the ball from gap to gap. Excellent student. Named to the 2023 Sunshine South Showcase Top Prospect List.
