INF Trent McLain (Florence, 2025) is a right-handed hitting infielder with high upside at the plate. He begins in a slightly open, upright position, gaining ground with his stride before landing centered. The bat path is flat and quick, allowing McLain to get extension to hit the ball hard consistently to the gaps, especially on the pull side. His top exit velocity was 95 mph. In the infield, the junior moves quick - both in the first step and laterally, working on-line with 1B as he throws. His arm showed some whippiness from its high-¾ slot, reaching 79 mph on his top throw.

Listed at 6-foot, 190 pounds, as an incoming junior, 1B/3B Trent Mclain (Florence, 2025) impressed on Tuesday and is a name-to-know in Wisconsin’s 2025 class. The corner infielder profiles with a proportional frame that contains strength throughout. The right-handed hitting Mclain features quick hands and stays level throughout the zone. During BP, Mclain was constantly on the barrel and sent the ball up the middle more often than not. Defensively, he displayed soft hands that worked the ball to a three-quarter arm slot. Mclain showed off smooth movement on both corners with good feel around the first base bag. During live gameplay, Mclain roped a ball to right field that saw him slide into third with what most would consider an easier triple. The junior looked the part throughout the game, as he was comfortable on both sides of the ball against some of the top talent in the state.
