McClurg is the top ranked prospect in Indiana's to-be sophomore class, offering top-of-the-line athleticism with tools and in-game abilities to pair. At the Bulls Scout Day, the 6.5 runner showed an improvement in arm strength, reaching 91 mph from the outfield, suggesting his physical development is far from finished. The arm was previously the tool I had in question with Drake - so an uptick here reaffirms potential superstar projections and 5-tool hopes remain in play. The 5-foot-11, 170 pound switch-hitter showcased twitchy hands during batting practice, reaching a 91.4 mph peak exit velocity. The offensive profile fits a top of the lineup mold, however he does have the ability to lift from the left side and he is growing into more and more impact there.

McClurg is a special athlete and the only committed player in the freshman class (Indiana). McClurg stands at 5-foot-11, 160 pounds and is the best overall athlete in the class at the moment, a multi-sport athlete that turned in a 6.59 60 time. The athleticism translates to the box as the switch-hitter shows quick, twitchy bat speed, with the left-handed swing showing more impact than the right at this time. McClurg reached a peak exit velocity of 92.4 mph and has the potential to grow into gap power as he matures. His feet are a weapon on the basepaths and in centerfield, where the Indiana recruit showed above average arm strength (85 OF Velo).
