New Episode LIVE now! - At The Yard Podcast

The Uncommitted Spotlight Series continues as we have started the '24 CIF High School baseball season Prep Baseball California is now highlighting some of the top uncommitted class of '25 athletes. The players featured are pulled directly from our '25 Class Rankings. These JR year players are ones that college coaches and fans should be keeping their eyes on over the coming months.

We invite you to get to know them through the eyes of our Prep Baseball California staff of scouts and the data-backed numbers collected at our events with our partnered companies. TrackMan, Blast Motion, Swift Performance, and Visual Edge provide comparable data to project and evaluate players. All of these systems come together to give a clear picture at what colleges will get when a players steps onto their campus.

Today, we put the spotlight on a SoCal '25 1B/RHP Marcus McQueen from Cajon High School.  McQueen is a big framed 6'3 215 lbs 1B profile defender with impact in his RH bat and intriguing potential on the mound. A consistent attendee of Prep Baseball California events McQueen has showed his ability as a both a hitter and a pitcher. At the plate the RH hitter has a powerful swing with fast hands up to 25.2 MPH which help him to generate impressive bat speeds up to 84.2 MPH. The impact swing metrics play to his middle/pull side approach where McQueen shows lift in the path with raw power up to 95.4 MPH on his max exit velocity while averaging 90 MPH with a 71% sweet spot rate there is both feel for the barrel and HR power. Utilizing a quiet load with balance at launch McQueen uncorks his swing with some torque from his lower half, but really relies on the strength/quickness in his hands to deliver the barrel with consistency. A solid defender at 1B where his athletic ability best profiles to stay long term. On the mound McQueen has showed a 4 pitch mix to the Prep Baseball California staff, but works best off his 83-86 MPH FB which he controls well for strikes while utilizing a 73-78 MPH CHG which has shown potential while his 70-72 MPH CB is his best breaking ball, but has thrown a SLD in the past. McQueen projects as a power hitting 1B who has a starter potential with his quality deliver, feel to throw strikes, present stuff with room to polish/develop on the mound which can easily slide to a bullpen to be a leverage reliever. College programs should have this Southern California talent on their '25 recruiting lists as a potential arm, bat or 2-way prospect.
