LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2005 Atlantic Coast Top Prospect Showcase
McDaniel is a 6-2, 170 lb switch hitting junior catcher from Virginia with a slender build and developing physical maturity. He was a 7.59 runner in the 60 and threw 72 mph during catching drills with a best pop time of 1.95. McDaniel showed good quickness behind the plate but will need to work on his receiving skills. He also played some first base at the showcase. Offensively, McDaniels shows a similar approach from both sides of the plate and has a bit better bat speed and strength from the left side. He has a short, contact line drive swing and centered the ball to the middle of the field from both sides. His strength is better suited to the metal bat right now but he should get stronger in the future. McDaniel also pitched a bit, throwing 80 mph from a low 3/4's slinging arm action. McDaniel is a good student.
