LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2003 Southeast Top Prospect Showcase
McConnell has an outstanding athletic body at 6-4, 205 lbs and could become one very strong young man if he works at it. He showed us average big league arm strength behind the plate and consistently produced pop times between 1.95 and 2.00. McConnell will have to work on his receiving skills, mostly flexability. At the plate, McConnell showed some good bat speed in batting practice and used his leverage and strength well to loft a couple of balls. During the games, McConnell appeared more tentative and didn’t let his natural abilities show through. All in all he's a very good prospect.
