Focus Area | Comments |
| Fastball: | McGeary topped out at 91 mph in his first start of the season and threw comfortable in the 86-90 mph range. |
| FB Movement: | His fastball is pretty light and straight. |
| Curve: | His best pitch. McGeary's curve has the chance to be a plus pitch. |
| Changeup: | A definite third pitch. McGeary showed it from time to time. He's got a feel for it, but it's behind the curve. |
| Control: | McGeary's command and control were pretty good, though he struggled at times to adjust when he was up in the zone. |
| Poise: | McGeary showed very good mound presence and poise throughout his start. |
| Physical Description: | McGeary is a pretty physical left-hander, a decent athlete who will get bigger as he matures. |
| Medical Update: | Healthy. |
| Strengths: | Excellent mound presence and a breaking ball that has the chance to be a plus pitch. |
| Weaknesses: | He's got a drop and drive delivery. Because of his arm slot, he loses some leverage and plane to his fastball, causing it to be straighter and lighter than you'd normally see from a lefty. |
| Summary: | It's a good high school class of southpaws and McGeary is one of them, though he may trail a few of the other prep stars from around the country. Still, he's got the chance to have a good three-pitch mix with a good idea of how to pitch. He'll need to develop his changeup because he'll have to change speeds and command the ball well at the next level. |
