FL Underclass Games Player Spotlight: 2020 RHP/1B Ryan McCauley

Ryan McCauley RHP / 1B / East Lake, FL / 2020

01/21/17- The 6-foot-4, 200-pound RHP/1B showed command for three above average pitches, and overall excellent feel for how to pitch stood out at PBR Florida’s Preseason All State event. Working his fastball in and out with precision at 81-84, McCauley pitches like an upperclassman who has every understanding of how to disrupt hitter’s timing. With a methodical motion that he calmly repeats every time, McCauley uses a long arm swing that gives way to quick hand speed out of a high ¾ slot. His changeup (69-71) may be his best secondary offering right now with late fade although his curveball shows 11/5 break with tight spin and has a chance to be a swing and miss pitch in the future. McCauley set up hitters masterfully during his short stint on the mound. He spotted each hitter’s weakness, formulated a plan of attack, and executed with ease. Offensively, he shows some strength and an exit velocity of 79 mph. Though tall and athletic, McCauley has not yet filled out physically and his ceiling is high. This will make him a high priority for recruiters this summer
