Meet MJ (Matthew Molloy).
Like most third basemen, he only knows one speed — full throttle.

Always dirty, always grinding, always coming in hot. MJ plays the game like his hair’s on fire, and honestly, coaches can’t get enough of it. He’s got talent, athleticism, and that relentless motor you can’t coach. The kind of player who doesn’t just show up — he makes his presence known.

Remember the name. Matthew Molloy is just getting started, and something tells us this won’t be the last time you hear it.
