Throughout Wednesday, July 26-Saturday, July 30, 2023 Prep Baseball Report Future Games were held in Emerson, Georgia at our LakePoint Sports Complex. For this event the various PBR staffs from around the country selected the best uncommitted rising juniors and sophomores to form teams to represent their state or region in the event, bringing well over 450 of the best uncommitted players in the United States and Canada to one four field quad for 4 days.

For this event, players from Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and DC were selected to form Team Mid-Atlantic. Players on Team Mid-Atlantic had a position player showcase workout on Wednesday and then played in three games, one per day, Thursday-Saturday, going 1-1-1 against Team Florida, Team Carolinas, and Team California. Scouts from all 30 MLB teams and well over 350 college coaches were in attendance.

 

 

 

Burton's Analysis

Cash McDade C / 1B / Gonzaga College, VA / 2025

McDade had arguably the best week of any Team Mid-Atlantic member, and was the best catcher I saw in the entire event. Advanced catch and throw, was pinpoint accurate on the bag, and showed some solid bat to ball ability. The Gonzaga catcher threw out six runners in two games, including four in the final game versus California. The offense is average to above average. Middle and backside usage of the field, with the ability to produce carry and power potential in those parts. Haven’t seen much pull side power, but the bat speed and strength are there to indicate some potential power in the future. The best part of the whole thing, this year specifically, is he still has ceiling left in all parts of his game. Did not get much time behind the plate, or at the plate, this year in high school, so he doesn’t have near the at bats that others do and is still growing on the offensive side. McDade cemented his position as the best 2025 catcher in the region and will be a hot commodity this week, especially since he has the tools to stick behind the plate.
