LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2006 Nor Cal Underclass Showcase
Ryan McWhirter is a 2008 1B/OF/C with a 6'2'', 180 lb. frame from Millbrae CA, who attends St. Ignatius College Prep. He has a long, lean, greyhound type of build that is very projectable. McWhirter looks like he is really going to hit someday. His hands work well and he has an easy swing that produces good bat speed. His swing is flat and the ball spins well off the bat, resulting in line drive type carry. In time the home runs should start to come. His bat, like his body, is quite projectable and he looks to be just scratching the surface. Defensively McWhirter fits best at 1st base. He picks the low throws well and has good hands. His footwork is pretty solid too. He plays the defensive half of the game with good energy and enjoys being on the field. McWhirter is a strong student with a lot of baseball growth and development ahead of him. He comes from an athletic family.
