In another incredibly close vote, it was Big Sugar who came out on top!
With 36 votes out of 124 responses in this round, right-hander Zach Maxwell won the plurality, narrowly edging out Leo Balcazar (34 votes) and Aaron Watson (29 votes) – the latter two themselves holding slight leads at different points in the open voting window.

Maxwell – who throws 102 mph, created the Mississippi River by dragging his ax and carved out the Great Lakes with his footprints – has reached the Cincinnati Reds during the 2025 season, with the 25-year-old Georgia Tech product pitching 10.0 innings and allowing 5 ER with 13 K during that span. He owns an impressive 13.1 K/9 in 143 appearances at the minor league level and will enter spring camp in Goodyear, Arizona, vying for a spot on the Opening Day roster.
Congratulations to Zach!
