LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2004 Midwest Top Prospect Showcase
Tim McGrane is a 2006 right handed pitcher/first baseman from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, with a strong 6'0", 195 lb. frame. McGrane throws from a 3/4 arm slot with above average arm speed, and good balance. He throws his fastball at 81-83 mph with arm side tail. McGrane gets a good downward plane to the plate for his size. His secondary pitches are still developing. McGrane has a looping curveball at 65 mph and a 72 mph change up. He has solid control of his pitches, and his secondary pitches will improve with better arm speed. McGrane has well above average bat speed with good present raw power. He is top hand dominant, and was a dead pull hitter in batting practice. However, during the games he showed the ability to stay inside and drive the ball the other way. Tim is a possible two way player at the next level, and it will be interesting to watch him develop over the next year. His bat and arm are very interesting and we like the way he plays the game. Tim is a strong student.
