+ '27 LHP Cayden McGrew (Evansville Reitz) is an up-and-coming southpaw from Evansville with several traits to dream on. Walking around with a wiry, high-waisted, 6-foot, 155 pound frame - McGrew showcased arm strength with an event-best 87 mph arm from the outfield before filling the zone at an above average clip in his 'pen. An athletic mover, McGrew ran his fastball up to 81 mph, while showing feel for a mid-60's slider and upper-60's change. McGrew repeats full circle arm action, a trait that should allow his overall velocities to louden as he adds strength to the immature frame.
