Verbally committed to Wake Forest.
6/05/24

Louisville commit. Currently ranked No. 2 in the state, No. 102 nationally. 6-foot, 223-pound frame, strong, barrel-chested, wide shoulders with strength throughout and a trim waist. Premier left-handed hitter in the state, finished the day 3-for-4 with a double, three RBIs and a run scored. Advanced approach and presence in the box, clear plan of attack and, showed the ability to cover the entire plate with ease. Relaxed setup with a simple load, hands rock back slightly and work on-plate through the zone with easy bat-speed. His damage was done as a DH in this look but he took a strong round of IO third base, boasting steady hands with feel for the position and a strong arm. High-profile 2026 to follow closely.

2/24/24

Few boast the sheer physicality at the plate in the Midwest that 3B/OF TJ McQuillan (Mount Carmel, 2026; Louisville commit) does. At 6-foot-1, 215-pounds, the left-handed hitting Louisville commit blistered baseballs on repeat throughout BP at Saturday’s event. He averaged an event-best 98.4 mph per batted ball, with eight of his 10 swings resulting in exit velocities at 96+ mph. Five of those eight came off his bat at 100+ mph, including a 102.4 mph high. McQuillan comfortably produced the furthest batted ball of the event (381 ft.) and he had four other outputs that traveled more than 340 feet into the right-center gap. All of his Blast Motion metrics are highly advanced; 24.6 mph average hand speed, 77.1 mph average bat speed, and 32.1 g of rotational acceleration on average. To add onto his pure physicality, McQuillan led all those in attendance in grip strength with both his right (198) and left (183) hand. He put up numbers in other aspects of his workout too, as he ran a 7.04 60-yard dash, was up to 89 mph from the outfield, and also peaked at 86 mph on his hardest throw across the infield.

2/24/24

Positional Profile: 3B/OF
Body: 6-2, 222.7-pounds. Strong, barrel chested frame.
Hit: LHH. Wide, balanced setup, quiet load, simple and repeatable, medium stride. Explosive hands through the zone, stays through the zone with a whippy barrel and extension, worked hard elevated contact up the middle and to his pull-side. 77.1 mph bat speed with 32 G’s of rotational acceleration.
Power: 102 max exit velocity, averaged 98.4 mph. 382’ max distance.
Arm: RH. INF - 86 mph. OF - 89 mph. Clean arm path, high 3/4 release. Plays from multiple slots on the INF and on the move.
Defense: OF: Strong, athletic mover, arm works. INF: Fluid glove to hand transfer, powerful, active pre-pitch, moves well for size with feel for the position.
Run: 7.04 runner in the 60.

10/06/23

CIF/OF TJ McQuillan (Mount Carmel, 2026; Louisville commit) continues to cement himself as one of the premier left-handed bats in the IL 2026 class. Strong-bodied, 6-foot-1, 210-pound frame, wide shoulders. McQuillan was on the barrel numerous times throughout the weekend for extra-bases; short load allows him to stay on-time, hands create separation before firing through the zone with a quick and uphill path, easy jump off the barrel to the whole field. Clear feel to hit, not afraid to use the whole field and take pitches where they are thrown. Quality actions on the infield with steady hands and some range to both sides of his glove. Arm plays with some carry and life across the diamond.

8/08/23

Positional Profile: 3B/OF
Body: 6-1, 210-pounds.
Hit: LHH. Slight crouch, slightly open, narrow stance, simple, balanced load, gets square with longer stride. Ultra-physical presence in the box for his age. Creates advanced bat speed and thump off the barrel to all fields. 77.6 mph bat speed with 27 G’s of rotational acceleration.
Power: 101 max exit velocity, averaged 92.7 mph. 392’ max distance.
Arm: RH. INF - 83 mph. Longer arm action, some quickness out front, 3/4 slot.
Defense: Two-hand gather out front, clean actions, fluid footwork, moved well on the run.
Run: 7.01 runner in the 60.

8/08/23

A premier prospect in the Midwest’s 2026 class that made the trip to Rantoul: CIF/OF TJ McQuillan (Mt. Carmel, 2026; Louisville commit). McQuillan’s sheer physicality rivals that of anyone in the state, regardless of age, and the 6-foot-1, 210-pound left-handed slugger showed noticeable raw power in BP. McQuillan’s firmest ball jumped off his ball at 100.5 mph, averaging 92.7 mph per batted ball, and he did so while routinely elevating the baseball (330 ft. avg), swatting his furthest an estimated 392 feet, per TrackMan. On top of that, McQuillan ran a 7.01 60-yard dash and was 83 mph across the infield. 

7/14/23

This barrel chested beast wasn’t just one of the best power hitters at the 15U National Championship, he was one of the best hitters overall. McQuillan consistently put himself in hitter’s counts due to his selectiveness at the plate, and he did not miss when he got something in the zone. His bat speed+bat strength combo is as real as it gets, with some of the best hitting metrics in the entire class at our showcases. His average launch angle of 18.1 matches up with many of the game's best power hitters (Adames 17.8, Olson 17.2, Arenado 18.4, Rizzo 18.4, Bellinger 19.0, Trout 19.2). Long story short, this means he is consistently driving the ball with backspin that most often produces the trajectory of 2B’s and HR’s. He’s not just a hitter who is stronger than the rest in his age group, TJ also has well above average bat speed (83.0 max), rotational acceleration (28.6 max), and elite exit velo (94.6 avg, 102.6 max) to go along with 88.9% hard hit rate that just puts him in a completely different class from others his age. The best part about it is the juice is to all fields, typically staying from the right center to left center gap. His repeatable, naturally handsy trigger flows perfectly with his simplified forward move and efficient timing+stretch in separation.. McQuillan is so strong, that he doesn’t need to add any effort or extra movement to produce power. He doesn’t just have the physical traits to hit for power, he has exceptional timing and muscle memory. The Louisville commit showed time and time again throughout the tourney how well he can manipulate the barrel to any pitch location, giving him the ability to cover the entire zone and further simplify in deeper counts. One of his biggest separators is the ability to see spin early, decelerate to get on time, and smash breaking balls in the zone nearly as well as he does FB’s. Another standout trait is his talent for hitting LHP’s, as he had a few hits off them in this tourney. Not only his swing comp, but the offensive profile of the gap 2 gap power production, BB’s, and OBP reminds me strongly of former Oakland Athletic Jack Cust. As he begins to be evaluated as a pro follow by scouts next summer, he will quickly distinguish himself with the ability to get on base and hit quality pitching for consistent power production.

6/06/23

3B/OF TJ McQuillan (Mount Carmel, 2026) is an alumni of the PBR Junior Future Games and one of the top bats in the 2026 class. Heading into the event, the Louisville commit was coming off an impressive freshman spring where he slashed .327/.425/.551 with five home runs, nine XBHs, and 28 RBI. At the plate he continues to show big bat speed and power with the quickest bat speed at the event on average (78.7 mph). He also consistently barreled the baseball to the pull-side with power, recording a max exit velocity of 98.4 mph, an average exit velocity of 94.2 mph, and a max distance of 377 feet. He also ran a 7.13 60 time, above-average for his age and frame. McQuillan continues to solidify himself as a name to know in the Midwest. 

2/25/23

Positional Profile: 3B/OF
Body: 6-1, 210-pounds. Strong, broad-shouldered frame.
Hit: LHH. Tall, balanced setup with a short stride. Advanced bat speed and bat strength, physical presence. On time and on the barrel with loud contact to all fields.

Run: 7.35 runner in the 60.

2/25/23

T.J. McQuillan (Mount Carmel), a 6-foot-1, 210-pound, CIF/COF prospect committed to Louisville shortly following his appearance at the Junior Future Games for Team Illinois this past July and he continues to prove that he is one of the top left-handed bats in the class at the All-State event. McQuillan took one of the more mature rounds we have seen from him to-date, staying balanced and within himself creating advanced bat strength and bat speed with minimal effort. McQuillan seemed intent on showing his all-field power potential instead of cheating and looking to pull everything with authority to the pull-side. McQuillan registered a T102.6 exit velocity, 95 mph average to go along with a 339’ max batted ball (has been 351’ in the past).

8/28/22

Junior Future Games: TJ McQuillan had two hits and two RBIs. McQuillan is a high-end bat that will continue to improve with age. He has great understanding of the strike zone and when he ambushes pitches they trampoline off of his bat.

4/13/22

Positional Profile: 3B
Body: 6-0, 210-pounds.
Hit: RHH. Wide base. Efficient movements in the box. Smooth load into back hip. Easy bat-speed, uphill path to the ball with intent to lift, easy pop. 
Power: 93.7 max exit velocity, averaged 88.8 mph. 335’ max distance.
Arm: LH. INF - 76 mph. Short arm swing, accurate from multiple angles, arm works.
Defense: Advanced actions, projects well at 3B, plays with tempo.
Run: 7.49 runner in the 60. 

4/13/22

TJ McQuillan (Lake Central IN, 2026) put together the loudest round of BP on the day and also looks to have the makings of a dangerous power/speed combination; reaching up to 93.7 mph for an exit velocity with intent to lift the baseball, easy pop and bat-speed - also cruised to a 7.49 60-yard dash, made even more impressive given his 6-foot, 210-pound frame. 

3/06/22

2021 Junior Future Games Participant. Thick, 6’0 205lb frame. Possesses natural barrel strength with an average exit velocity of 90 mph in his BP round. Counter-rotates a touch – but really showed the ability to deliver the barrel to the front of the zone. Projects to show big time power potential. Max EV of 100 mph.
