Spending his first season in Happy Valley, Maloney played his first two collegiate seasons at Dayton where he appeared in 91 games. Now suiting up for Penn State, Maloney has been a key factor in the team’s rebound season under Mike Gambino.
Previous Penn State catchers to be selected to this watchlist include Matt Wood, who was a preseason honoree in 2022. Wood is now a member of the Milwaukee Brewers system.
