Scouting Notes: Ontario Royals Indoor Practice - 2/13/18

Ryan Magdic 1B / Blessed Trinity Catholic, ON / 2018

Report: Cochise-commit Ryan Magdic is something of a new specimen to the scene in Ontario, as the big first-baseman began to garner attention at the beginning of the 2017 campaign. Admittedly raw, Magdic looks much better this offseason, both physically and in the cage. Now standing at 6-foot-4, 225 pounds, the Junior National Team member has slimmed out and has added muscle to his frame. He now hits from a straight up stance, he’s slow to the ball, but explosive at contact, he’s controlled and shows juice in the bat to all fields. He has a minor hitch at the end of his load, but it works to his advantage from a timing standpoint. We didn’t know much about Magdic at the start of last season, but we expect big things from him as the 2018 season closes in.
