LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2002 Pre-Draft Showcase
McCann came into the event in the best physical shape we have seen him and showed that he can do everything well as a catcher. He showed plus bat-speed in BP even though he pressed for the long ball and never got into one as we have seen in the past. He was able to hit a few real hard ones in the game off the good pitching, even off a couple top lefties. There is no question that he has one of the most powerful bats in the country. Behind the plate, he showed some of the top defensive skills in the event. He handled the top pitchers easily, showed good mobility behind the plate and popped a 1.95 and 1.99 on 2 runners thrown out at 2B in the game. He showed good arm strength and quick feet with his throws. McCann is a Left-Handed power-hitting Catcher who has some of the best defensive ability in his class.
