One of the more polished defensive players in his class, McGuire makes catching look easy with very quick feet, excellent blocking skills, a smooth, quick transfer and a strong, accurate throwing arm. As good as he is behind the plate, he also offers promise at the plate with a short, compact left-handed swing that allows him to make consistent hard contact while driving the ball from gap-to-gap. McGuire is rated the No. 1 catcher in the nation and the No. 8 prospect overall in the 2013 class according to Perfect Game.
