McWilliams was dominant all night long finishing with 7 IP, 1 H, 1 R (0 ER), 2 BB, 16 K’s. Sitting 83-85 with normal effort all night long topping out at 86 several times. Quick and loose arm action plays up to what velocity is. His CB was 72-74 exhibiting hard spin, and swing and miss effect this evening. Projectable.

The younger brother of two professional pitchers, McWilliams has the bloodlines that favor him progressing rapidly in the future. He has a clean, more polished delivery with a medium-sized, loose arm swing that delivers out of a high ¾ slot with quick hand speed out front. His fastball works 83-85 with normal effort, and he demonstrates control of the pitch down in the zone while creating some angle. His breaking ball is thrown at a firmer, 73-75, and exhibits proper shape and spin, and could develop into a swing and miss offering in the future. With one brother being 6-foot-7, and the other being 6-foot-4, it is a pretty safe bet that McWilliams will end up with a physical frame, and given the loose, quick arm that he already showcases, there is a strong chance that he sees an even greater velocity jump in the future. Overall, McWilliams’ has a high-ceiling, and as he continues to fill out, should quickly reach it in coming years.
