Top Viewed Profiles of 2019
No. 3 Nolan McLean
Nolan McLean (RHP/INF, Garner HS, 2020) is committed to Oklahoma State as both a baseball and football player. McLean garnered a lot of interest as he kept his recruitment open through November of 2019. On the baseball field the powerful right hander has one of the better fastballs in the country, showcasing his skills with the 18U Team USA team this past summer. In the box, the power is real. While the swing can be raw at times and there is some swing and miss, he only needs to connect once to change games.
McLean also starred on the football field as a Quarterback for Garner. Possibly the top two-sport star in the state of North Carolina, schools were still following him throughout the fall of his senior year as he continued to work to a decision. His next decision could be whether to fulfill his commitment to Oklahoma St or pursue professional baseball.

Scouting Report
07.15.18
PBR was on hand in Chicago for the USA Baseball NTDS. Potential dual guy with extreme raw power and a big arm on the bump. Also being recruited at high levels as a football player. Physcial "manchild" has a presence in the box and on the mound. Extremely advanced batspeed with a lot of movement and a load that can start and stop. Swing and miss is present in game situations against upper level arms. On the mound it is raw but it is big velo, up to 94 and sitting 91-92.
07.15.17
Strength is present in a young frame. Coils the front side slightly at balance as the arm works in a short, loose action to load the scapular. High-3/4 slot lacks a consistent release point, but tends to improve as the outing lengthens. Arm side run to the fastball, ranging 86-89, touching 90 at times. Slider is hard with late tilt, but still maturing to be consistent.
03.28.17
Athletic frame and is also a QB prospect according to Garner Coach Goffena. Demonstrated power with a sacrifice fly, driving the ball to the well. Has the ability to use the entire field as well. Setup is balanced and athletic with a crouch and a slightly open stance. His load is smooth and back with a short stride to balance. Nolan’s bat speed is fast with a short level path. He has a fluid rhythm and displays a confidence beyond his years. Ball carries with ease from behind the dish. Has been up to 88, with better reports, on the bump this spring.
