View Draft Report
Madris was one of the most dominant hitters in all of Division II baseball this spring, batting .422 and swatting 17 home runs while drawing 45 walks and striking out just 30 times. Madris has a power-oriented swing and a sound understanding of the strike zone. His performance alone had scouts running him down, and he could be a value pick in the later rounds if his offense translates to the next level.
