6-foot-4, 170 pounds; long, lanky build. Has made large jumps in overall arsenal throughout the summer. Throwing from a low ¾ slot, McDonnough flashes a three-pitch-mix. Command of fastball was impressive in outing; sitting 84-89 with low-effort. Fastball showed significant armside movement. Slider has makings of wipeout action at 74-77; plus feel for pitch. Changeup at 75 mph with fade. Strike-thrower with large potential and present ability still on the market.

The 6-foot-4, 170-pound right hander jumped into the rankings after a strong showing at the PBR Mid-South State Games at the end of June. Slim, wiry frame with lanky limbs and plenty of projection. Quick, whippy arm that works to a low 3/4 slot, leading to some uncomfortable at bats. Gets good extension off the rubber with squared landing. FB worked 80-86 with good spin (2156-2407 rpm via Stalker) and some arm side action while throwing it to both sides of the plate. Mixed sweeping breaking ball at 71-74 with good shape and decent bite. McDonnough has continued to improve throughout the fall helping toss a combined no-hitter, while sitting 84-88 with the same sharp breaking ball.
