By Chris Fuller

Name: Aaron McGeorgemcgeorge
Position: RHP/IF/OF
Grade: 2015
Height/Weight: 5-foot-10/155 pounds
High School: Henry Clay
Ranking: Currently No. 25 in Kentucky's 2015 class

Scouting Notes: 12/14/14 - At 5-foot-10, 155-pounds, McGeorge's size certainly won't jump off the page at you, but he is a very athletic player with a combination of good speed, arm strength, and the ability to play multiple positions.  His ability on the mound makes him a player with legitimate two-way possibilities at the next level.  On the mound, McGeorge shows a solid four-pitch mix.  His fastball sat 84-86 mph, touching 87 on one occasion with good arm-side run.  His curveball shows sharp/late 11/5 action at 71-74 mph, and he throws a solid changeup with good arm-side run and sink at 75-76 mph while mixing in a 78-81 mph cutter with late action through the zone.  Defensively, McGeorge showed very good arm strength from both the shortstop position (85 mph) and the outfield (91 mph).  He ran a 4.46-second home to first time while recording an 88 mph exit velocity off the tee.  His offensive game will continue to develop as he gets stronger and fills out his frame.
