INF/RHP Mason McCarthy (Eau Claire Memorial, 2027) is an interesting upside prospect on both the mound and with the bat. Measured at 6-foot, 171 pounds, there is considerably more projection coming to the frame. With the bat, McCarthy showcased a loose and fluid swing from the right side with a downhill path creating backspin through both gaps. In the infield, McCarthy displayed smooth actions to both sides and when fielding a slow roller. On the mound, McCarthy identified himself as an upside arm with how long his frame is and he has a real chance to pop once he fills. He delivered strikes downhill with the fastball in the upper 70s and paired it with a top to bottom curveball and developing feel for a split finger pitch with depth. McCarthy is someone our staff will monitor going forward.
