McClain Ridler, Summit High School (TN), 2028 Positional Profile: OF/LHP Body: 6-1, 160-pounds. Very athletic frame with proportionate limbs, very high potential for what he becomes physically. Delivery: Athletic mover with a calm and relaxed stride that gets extension on his leg as he rides the slope down. Finishes well over a braced leg that locked out and hyperflexes for maximum energy transfer at release. Arm Action: LH. Whippy arm action that should hold considerable more velocity as he matures. Low 3/4 slot. FB: T80, 77-80 mph. Decent life with arm-side carry that should work into a lot of hitters. Will work best getting ahead down in the zone. T2049, 1935 average rpm. SL: 68-71 mph. Developing shape that carries decent spin already. T1948, 1795 average rpm. CH: 68-69 mph. Arm-side run with late fading action. Should be able to get multiple swing and misses for a true out pitch. T1784, 1702 average rpm. ATH: 7.72 runner in the 60.

McClain Ridler, Summit High School (TN), 2028 Positional Profile: OF/LHP Body: 6-1, 160-pounds. Very athletic frame with proportionate limbs, very high potential for what he becomes physically. Hit: LHH. Tall stance with his feet slightly open, his hands begin above his shoulder. A toe tap loads his back leg further as his bat tips 45 degrees towards the pitcher. Great separation at footplant before the swing launches. Lived in the right center gap with line drives, very smooth bar path that matches the plane of the ball well. Power: 85 max exit velocity, averaged 78.9 mph. 306' max distance. Arm: LH. OF-81 mph. Strong accurate throws the home with much more arm wise coming. Defense: Attacks the ball and fields it smoothly off of his right foot. Easily gets to balls with smooth footwork. ATH: 7.72 runner in the 60.
