Trevor
McClure

INF/RHP Trevor McClure (Mount Vernon) is an ultra athletic prospect with plenty more strength to come, standing in a 6-foot, 167-pound frame. His tools are intriguing, highlighting why he’s one of the top prospects in the state’s 2027 class. On the mound, McClure showed athletic movements and confidence to throw strikes with his entire repertoire. He displayed an upper-80s fastball with sink and quality spin. McClure frequently turned to a sharp 12/6 curveball that was up to 2576 rpm, and a slider with equally impressive spin (2329 avg. rpm), sitting 76-78 mph. He rounded out his arsenal with a change-up that played with mostly straight actions. At the plate, the right-handed hitter showed a simple, repeatable swing that was paired with a loose, level path and an up-the-middle-to-pull side approach. He finished the week 3-for-6 with a double, two runs, two walks and two stolen bases. A 6.94 runner, McClure’s athleticism translated to his defense, as he showed deliberate footwork and a strong arm that topped at 89 mph across the diamond during the showcase.

6-foot-1, 170-pound long limbed multi-sport (basketball) athlete that started on the mound for the Rams against Mascoutah and popped as a high-follow, name-to-know arm in the state’s freshmen class. Simple, low-effort stretch-only delivery, upright posture throughout. Lead leg swings to an open-toed landing at front footstrike, drifts towards the first base side at finish. Arm plays with some length on the backside, loose and free shoulder, high ¾ finish. Fastball plays clean out the hand and touched 89 mph early, sitting at 85-88 mph throughout his start. Confident in his curveball, comfortable throwing it in any count to both handed hitters. Flashed sharp late action at 74-76 mph, developing feel and consistency but does have out-pitch potential. A high-ceiling arm that’s nowhere close to what he’ll ultimately be on the mound and is a must-follow prospect in the Illinois’ 2027 class.
