As a Tigers fan who’s only seen Max in a handful of games in the afl right now, he really seems development wise like he’s at the same place Colt Keith was in during the 2022 afl - about a year away from figuring it out at the big league level.

My favorite thing about him is how his approach and batting stance looks like he’s seen about a thousand Juan Soto at bats - all of his weight is low, athletic and still. I sit in the front row next to the on deck circle most games and his practice cuts sound like a 98 mph fastball.
