CIF/RHP Braylon McNair (Lindblom, 2025) offers plenty of physical upside within a 6-foot-4, 170-pound frame. Offensively, McNair showed easy hand twitch, keeping a level barrel through contact from a loose and fluid right-handed swing. McNair worked gap-to-gap with comfort throughout his round and he’s going to hit for more impact as he continues to fill out his frame. He hopped on the mound later on and pitched in the low-80s while also showing tight lateral spin on a 65-68 mph curveball (T2379 RPM).
