McLarty

6/17/14 - 6-foot-2, 165-pound prospect with projectable frame, arm action is long and loose through a ¾ to high ¾ arm slot, pounds the strike zone consistently, fastball sat 83-84 mph touching 85, two-seam fastball shows some arm-side run and sink, showed a 74 mph breaking ball with short/late break, 72 mph changeup is thrown with good arm action with solid fade, has shown a slight increase in velocity and would expect more to come from the projectable right-hander.  As a position player, hits from a balanced setup with a short stride, good lower half torque in swing, hands are quick, swing path creates some lift, consistently barreled the baseball up in batting practice, has potential to hit for power, registered 81 mph tee exit velocity and ran 4.58 down the first base line.  Defensively, shows solid actions and lateral movement, 77 mph arm across the infield with accurate throws, went 0-for-4 in game play lining out hard in one at bat.

2/16/14 - 6-foot-2, 160-pound prospect with long and lanky frame and a lot of room to fill in, uses long arm action through a ¾ to high ¾ arm slot, fastball showed good arm-side run at 81-83 mph touching 84, 67-70 mph curveball showed sharp 11/5 action, commanded curveball well (have seen it harder in the past at 74-75 mph), changeup sat 70-74 mph that shows good fade when he stays behind it.  McLarty was in the middle of basketball season at this event, would not be surprised to see additional velocity from him in the spring, big upside for this potential high-level prospect.
