Uncommitted Spotlight: McDonough Has Recruitment 'All In Perspective'

Kyle McDonough C / 1B / Lakota East, OH / 2019Rankings StateRank: 90 / POS: 9
WEST CHESTER TOWNSHIP - Watching an older brother battle through adversity in college has helped Kyle McDonough understand just how short baseball life can be. The Lakota East junior is trying to make the most of it while his college recruiting process picks up. “Seeing all that he had to go through put it all in perspective,” explained McDonough about his brother Adam, who was recruited out of high school by Akron (the program folded before he ever got to campus) and played at junior college programs Darton State (as a freshman before the program folded) and Southwest Tennessee until Lisfranc surgery ended his career last May. “I have to grind and grind and work harder in the weight room, in the classroom and on the field.” A January visit to Purdue is one of the recruiting highlights thus far for McDonough, who has also been talking with Dayton, Eastern Illinois and Ohio U. A 1.87 pop time with a 93 exit velo at the PBR CBC Scout Day helped get his numbers out there for colleges to see. |
