Uncommitted. Currently ranked No. 119 in the state. Trim, high-waisted 6-foot-2, 174-pound frame. Got the ball to start for the Roadrunners and provided an upside look. Loose and simple mover down the mound, working from a stretch-only delivery. He showed to have a loose/quick arm from a ¾ slot. Primarily working with two pitches; his fastball sat 87-89 mph early in the outing, reaching that velocity easily, while he would settle in at 83-86 mph in the later stages of the game with sinking action. McKay would go to a 75-78 mph slider (2400+ rpm) as his secondary offering, that seemed to get better as the start progressed, playing in the zone more while inducing swing and miss in the later stages of the outing. McKay is a name to continue to follow as the spring goes on.
+ RHP Connor McKay (Nazareth, 2026) looked to be one of the more projectable arms in attendance. Standing in at a high-waisted and lean 6-foot-2, 174-pounds, McKay has a simple delivery with little perceived effort to pair with a loose arm and ¾ release. His fastball sat in the 85-87 mph range, running to his arm-side naturally and also showing some feel for the zone. He also showed some feel for his splitter, playing with arm-side tumble at 79-80 mph, feel low and arm-side. His slider showed some sharp bite off a 10/4 plane, thrown with arm-speed at 72-74 mph.
