Ryan
Magdic

A couple days before my visit to Columbia I received word that a graduate transfer from Florida Southern had been making some noise on the mound for the Tigers. And as good fortune would allow, I was able to see the lefthander in a closing role during game two of the series. Standing 6-foot-5, 225 pounds, Magdic delivered easy 93-95 mph strikes to the plate. He topped at 96 on his fastball that spun in the upper 2200 rpm range. He also mixed in an occasional low-80s slurve, but mostly challenged the Gators in the zone with his heater. Magdic made it look easy, facing seven in his two innings while allowing a lone hit with two strikeouts. For the season he has posted a 2.40 ERA with 17 strikeouts against three walks in 15 innings. Not a high round talent due to his age, the southpaw will deepen an area scout’s draft list and has a chance to become yet another recent Mizzou Tiger senior to appear in the Major Leagues (Ryan Lollis, Reggie McClain, Bryce Montes de Oca).

A baby-faced first basement with great size and a solid frame for the position. Shows some power from the left side and should continue to get stronger as he grows into his frame and matures. Despite his size, he shows good footwork and athleticism at first base, with smooth actions, soft hands, and quick and clean transfers. At the plate, Magic has a short and sweet stroke, with not a lot of moving parts in his swing. Brings back hands into good launch position, hits off a straight front foot, with a bit of an uppercut in his swing. The power is there, was able to barrel a couple of balls over the right field wall. Hands work, able to sit back and use the opposite field, also runs well for a first baseman. Overall, the 2018 classman looks like a guy to look out for, Magdic shows promise with the bat and at first base, and looks to have the makeup to become a solid player on the next level.
