Smith
McGarvey

Uncommitted. The southpaw took the ball for the Trojans in a high-caliber region match-up and was dominant to say the least. Would go on to cruise through 5.2 shutout innings while only allowing one hit and striking out five to earn the win. That lone hit was a bloop infield single. Standing a lean, athletic 6-foot-2, 195-pounds with plenty of projection remaining, McGarvey deploys a clean operation on the bump with a repeatable ¾ arm slot and delivery. The junior missed barrels and disrupted timing all game long, while working with a fastball/slider mix. Fastball at 82-85 and topped 86. Slider was hard to pick up out of the hand and showed variance in shape at 64-67, with advanced feel and confidence to land in any count. McGarvey will be a staple of the North Hall rotation as region play gets started, and the velo could very easily continue to climb as the spring rolls along.

6-foot-1 180-pounds. I haven’t seen McGarvey in a couple of years, and he has really progressed. Another QB candidate for the football program has the prototype frame to help him excel on the baseball field and football field. He moves gracefully, and has long powerful strides that can play anywhere in the outfield. He has a simple swing where he picks the front foot up, and lets the hands do the work. He had to stay disciplined to stay back on the pitching he faced. The upper and lower half connection is key to consistency at the plate. McGarvey will be a riser that will be in the next ‘26 rankings update.
