Brandon McCabe (2017 RHP, Boynton Beach, FL) showed the top velocity of the game and the highest of the showcase to date. The Miami commit touched 92 a few times, and settled in the 89-91 mph range in his one inning of work. He overpowered opposing hitters with the heater and also flashed a sharp 12/6 curveball at 79 mph.
Jack Owen (2017 LHP, Coto De Caza, CA) has some funk and deception in his delivery. The lefthanded pitcher threw a hitless two innings, and he showed solid feel for pitching, mixing in his mid-80s fastball and low-70s changeup well.
Cooper Swanson (2017 SS, Fort Myers, FL) had a very nice round of batting practice and carried it over into the game action. Swanson has quick hands and does a solid job of getting the bat head out and extended. He rifled a ball past the third baseman for an RBI single.
Everett Hurst (2017 RHP, Sebring, FL) showed a solid feel for three pitches. He ran his fastball up to 88 mph, working comfortably in the 84-87 range, and flashed a low-70s curveball with late break and 72-74 mph changeup.
Donovan Langston (2017 SS, Frisco, TX) made a very nice play defensively while manning second base. The compactly built, 5-foot-9, 160 pounder showed good range and took a great route to a foul ball in the no-man’s land behind first base near the right field wall.
Brian Morrell (2017 RHP, Wading River, NY) showed a quick arm and a lively fastball. The 6-foot, 180 pound righty worked two innings and struck out three using a fastball in the 84-88 mph range and a breaking ball that flashed sharp bite from an 11/5 shape.
Cole McNamee (2017 3B, Milton, GA) hit the showcases only in-game homerun thus far. The strongly-built 6-foot-4, 220 pound right handed hitter showed off his strength and physicality by depositing an 81 mph fastball over the Jet Blue Park’s Green Monster in left field.
