Scouting Report
5/3/18
The younger brother of two professional pitchers, McWilliams has the bloodlines that favor him progressing rapidly in the future. He has a clean, more polished delivery with a medium-sized, loose arm swing that delivers out of a high ¾ slot with quick hand speed out front. His fastball works 83-85 with normal effort, and he demonstrates control of the pitch down in the zone while creating some angle. His breaking ball is thrown at a firmer, 73-75, and exhibits proper shape and spin, and could develop into a swing and miss offering in the future. With one brother being 6-foot-7, and the other being 6-foot-4, it is a pretty safe bet that McWilliams will end up with a physical frame, and given the loose, quick arm that he already showcases, there is a strong chance that he sees an even greater velocity jump in the future. Overall, McWilliams’ has a high-ceiling, and as he continues to fill out, should quickly reach it in coming years.
