Full audio links below beyond the brief video clip. The 2022 14th round pick makes his professional debut with his first appearance in 2023.

Via Curt Hogg of the Journal-Sentinel earlier this month (posted on 3/7):

A scout observing noted that Aidan Maldonado was the pitcher who stood out the most. 

A 14th-round selection in last year’s draft, the righty out of the University of Minnesota throws gas. His upper-90s fastball generates high spin rates and, along with some deception created from an over-the-top arm slot, gives him some of the best pure stuff in the system. 

The problem Maldonado often runs into was on display; he has difficulty throwing strikes consistently. Maldonado walked 5.7 batters per nine innings during his college career and likely has a reliever profile because of it. 

The fastball and a slider that showed good sweeping movement, though, are both legitimate enough offerings to give Maldonado back-end reliever upside. And when that potential is present, it’s worth giving a player time to try and figure out the speed bump in his way.

Enjoy the full 37 minutes, but the "meat" of the interview in terms of what Nick Jensen does specifically for the Brewers is the stretch beginning at the 06:45 minute marks. As you'd imagine, not player-specific.
