Scouting the 2025 Draft: Max Belyeu

Max Belyeu OF, College.  DOB:  112/15/2003.  B-L, T-R.  6' 2", 210 lbs.  

2023(Texas):  .333/.350/.683, 1 BB, 8 K, 21 PA.
2023(CACL):  .333/.400/.488, 4 HR, 10.3 BB%, 20.7 K%, 145 PA.
2024(Texas):  .329/.423/.667, 18 HR, 10.8 BB%, 17.7 K%, 249 PA.
2024(CCL):  .222/.307/.352, 2 HR, 7.9 BB%, 33.3 K%, 63 PA.  

Belyeu is a high contact hitter who grew into his power at Texas.  After a strong sophomore season, he struggled against breaking balls in the Cape Cod League per MLB scouting report.  He projects as a corner OF with a plus arm so RF is probably his best position.  Some analysts think he could be considered the best all-around hitter in the draft and could move up draft boards if he has a strong junior season.  On video it looks like he bars his front arm quite a bit on swings which may be a negative....or not depending on whether you are a member of the anti-arm bar religion.
