Maddox Molony is Oregon’s power-defense shortstop with pro upside
In the 2026 season, Maddox Molony was a Golden Spikes preseason watch-list bat and a third-team preseason All-American whose profile is built on real thump, steady middle-infield defense, and big-game production; he hit .233 with 12 homers and 39 RBIs in his final Oregon season, and finished with a .974 fielding percentage at shortstop. He’s the kind of player who can change a game with one swing, but also brings a durable, physical presence and local-rooted competitiveness that scouts love. If your team wants pop up the middle and a guy who’s already been tested against top-level college arms, he’s a fit.
