C Sam McCully (Normal West, 2027) will be a catcher to follow moving forward. There’s some upside in his 5-foot-10, 175-pound frame, possessing some lean strength at the moment. The right-handed hitter has a fluid and easy swing that stays through the zone a long time, working on-plane with ease and balance, reaching up to 95.2 mph for his peak EV with a 336’ max distance. Behind the plate, McCully showed smooth and clean actions with some flexibility in his hips, working in-line to second on throws with a clean glove-to-hand (2.01 pop-time; 76 mph).
Positional Profile: C/1B

Hit: RHH. Wide base, toe-tap into short stride. Fluid rhythm, loose, flat path, pull-side approach. 69.1 mph bat speed with 7g of rotational acceleration.
Power: 95 mph max exit velocity (84.5 avg.); 336-foot max batted distance.
Arm: RH. C - 76 mph. Compact, 3/4 slot.
Defense: 2.01-2.19 pop time range; Flexible hips, smooth and easy mover. Athletic out of the crouch, feet work inline.
