Max Rice is a 2024 SS/RHP, 2B with a 5-9 135 lb. frame from Encino, CA who attends Brentwood. Medium build with plenty of room to fill out as he continues to develop. Primary infielder, stays in front of the ball well and makes the routine play with consistency. Good softness to his backhand glove work. Arm strength across the diamond will continue to improve nicely alongside his build. On the hill, has a longer arm circle through the back that comes up to a high three-quarters slot. Small gather step into a high leg lift. Fastball up to 70 mph, showcases occasional arm side run. Mixes in an 11-to-5 shaped curveball with good depth and developing bite to the plate. Also throws a 62 mph straight change. At the plate, uses a conventional upright stance with a small leg kick trigger. Simple hands stay quiet back into his load, flat barrel path through the zone. Middle of the field approach, excellent student in the classroom as well.
