5-foot-10 right-hander who put together a stellar start for Sluggers Baseball 2022 on Friday. McVay frequently changed speeds, playing off his hard 80-83 mph fastball, which featured slight/late run. The Pointer also showed a feel to mix in a two-seam offering, 76-77 mph, with greater lateral movement. His offspeed consisted of a firm changeup, 73-74 mph, and a slider, 71-74 mph, that he demonstrated a better feel for as the game went on. That slider was of the sweeping type with above-average movement and control for his age; not afraid to throw it to lefties or in any count. McVay side-step rocks into his motion, works from ¾ slot with arm speed, and lands closed with a recoil finish.
