View Draft Report
Mahoney, 23, is one of the oldest players on the board as a LDS mission alumnus who graduated from high school in 2010. A 23rd-round pick last year of the Brewers, he didn't sign despite a strong performance in the Cape Cod League, where he had one of the cleaner arm actions and better deliveries in the league. Mahoney had 47 strikeouts in 37 innings last summer but he struggled back at BYU this spring, posting a 4-8, 5.27 mark. At 6-foot, 195 pounds, Mahoney has a strong arm, sitting at 89-94 mph with his fastball and showing the arm strength to register higher in shorter stints. He also locates his tight slider very well, showing a feel for the low-80s power pitch. He has a four-pitch mix with a solid curveball that he locates and a changeup with some true bottom to it. Mahoney's fastball can be true and he doesn't command it the way he does his slider. He has the arsenal to start if he can throw more fastball strikes.
