Jud had himself a day to be proud of on Tuesday. The Peterborough Tigers ‘25 classman put together one of the most intriguing BP rounds of the event, playing to his pull side for power with a max exit velocity of 88mph. McGowan works from the left side with a quiet load and direct bat path. Had a knack for the inside pitch, getting the hands out front time and time again for deep fly balls. Defensively, some of the better actions on the day at short. Strong footwork, cut down angles efficiently and moved through the ball at any chance possible. Body looks the part, and has lots to work with moving forward at 6-foot-2, 170 pounds. Jud made his presence known at the Toronto Summer Open, and will be an interesting ‘25 to follow moving forward.
