LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2005 World Showcase
Tate McMillan is a 2005 catcher/first baseman from Erin, Tennessee, with a 6'1", 180 lb. frame. McMillan is an advanced hitter with very good bat speed and a short path to the ball. He has a balanced and athletic swing, and hits line drives. McMillan gets good leverage, and has present power that will continue to improve as his body and game mature. Left handed hitting catchers are in demand, and McMillan's bat can easily play at the next level. McMillan only got 1 hit during the showcase games, but hit the ball well. McMillan can immediately improve his arm strength and pop times by staying behind the ball on his throws and improving his foot quickness. He has a tendency to get under the ball, but he does have arm speed. With his work ethic and attitude, we are sure McMillan will polish his game defensively. His bat is already advanced.
