2/24/26
Uncommitted. The track record of hitting only continued to grow for the Cherokee outfielder this past weekend. Stands a compact 5-foot-7, 147-pound with wiry strength and present feel to hit. Came through with multiple all-fields knocks while facing a plethora of committed arms. The RHH stays well-connected as he works from a compact path with fluid, strong hands and feel to move the barrel around the zone. Really slows the game down in the box and looks to hit early in the count. Great balance and feel for the zone and excellent pitch recognition stands out. McGhee offers a high-floor defensive profile with athleticism throughout as he will provide a swiss-army knife weapon for Coach Thomas and the Warriors with the ability to stick in the dirt or in the outfield.
6/21/25

Continuing to swing it well this summer the incoming junior would put together a monster showing Friday afternoon in a 3-for-3 performance with 3 doubles ( 2 backside, 1 pull-side), 2 runs, and an RBI. McGhee stays well-balanced with leverage in the barrel and an aptitude to work to all-fields. Displays present feel for the barrel with ability to stay compact and change barrel plane to find solid contact throughout the zone. Innate pitch recognition stands out with an advanced understanding of the zone. Strong bat-to-ball skills litter the profile as well for McGhee with the ability to stick anywhere in the lineup.
