3/18/25
Tools & Frame: Athletic, 5-foot-11, 185 pounder with present twitch and some physicality. Plus runner (6.5) with future plus arm to carry with him to CF (93 now), where he is a premier defender. Average to a tick above bat strength (97-plus) and bat speed (70 mph avg) at the present moment, bat-to-ball skills are advanced and fits more of his style of play now. Switch-hitter profiles as a top of the order CF with above average power potential. Summation: Drake is a special athlete that provides a mix of present tools with future upside and an ultra-competitive in-game player. His tools were on display at this event as the athletic, 5-foot-11, 185 pounder burned a 6.59 60-yard dash before he reached an event-best outfield velocity of 93 mph. The feet, arm, and glove are all tools present that can be bet on and he provides a silky look from both sides of the dish. McClurg is a switch-hitter with dynamic movement patterns - there is some loft to a pure, left-handed stroke with a bit more raw power while the right-handed swing is short & playable. The Indiana recruit reached 97-plus off the bat with projections of above average power developing, which will only add to the dynamic skillset present.
6/04/24

McClurg is the top ranked prospect in Indiana's to-be sophomore class, offering top-of-the-line athleticism with tools and in-game abilities to pair. At the Bulls Scout Day, the 6.5 runner showed an improvement in arm strength, reaching 91 mph from the outfield, suggesting his physical development is far from finished. The arm was previously the tool I had in question with Drake - so an uptick here reaffirms potential superstar projections and 5-tool hopes remain in play. The 5-foot-11, 170 pound switch-hitter showcased twitchy hands during batting practice, reaching a 91.4 mph peak exit velocity. The offensive profile fits a top of the lineup mold, however he does have the ability to lift from the left side and he is growing into more and more impact there. 

3/03/24

McClurg is a special athlete and the only committed player in the freshman class (Indiana). McClurg stands at 5-foot-11, 160 pounds and is the best overall athlete in the class at the moment, a multi-sport athlete that turned in a 6.59 60 time. The athleticism translates to the box as the switch-hitter shows quick, twitchy bat speed, with the left-handed swing showing more impact than the right at this time. McClurg reached a peak exit velocity of 92.4 mph and has the potential to grow into gap power as he matures. His feet are a weapon on the basepaths and in centerfield, where the Indiana recruit showed above average arm strength (85 OF Velo).
