5-foot-10, 165-pounder displayed capable defensive actions behind the plate and at first base over the course of two games.

The right-handed hitter ran a 7.26 60-yard dash and led off game two with a double while showcasing an 81 mph bat exit velocity.

5-foot-11, 185-pound right-handed hitter excelled in game action going 1-for-3 in game one and then went 4-for-4 with two doubles in game two to finish the day 5-for-7. Right-handed hitter utilizes a heel-raise stride to initiate his swing from a slightly open stance.  A short, direct swing path leads to repeated barrels with an ability to drive both gaps. Ran a 7.69 60-yard dash and showcased pop times of 2.18-2.26 on throws of 72 mph from the crouch. In addition to solid defensive work behind the plate, also displayed capable in game actions at first base.

Handsy hitter stays behind the baseball well and showcased a solid feel for the barrel in batting practice with a bat exit velocity of 84 mph. Ran a 7.34 60-yard dash and went 1-for-5 with a sacrifice fly, an RBI, and a pair of stolen bases in game action.

5-foot-10, 165-pound left-handed hitter starts from a slightly open stance and utilizes a leg-hang stride to initiate his swing. Showcased balance throughout his swing with an ability to barrel the baseball to all fields resulting in a bat exit velocity of 82 mph.

With current foot speed and 76 mph arm strength across the diamond, McCormick profiles best as a second baseman at the next level.
