Very high on ‘22 RHP/SS Will McCausland (Souderton Area) as a POS. player at the next level. Natural instincts in space & attacked the ball w/ intent. Quick pace & fluid arm action on 86 mph throws across the diamond. The 2️⃣-way ability is real! @GregWilliamsPBRpic.twitter.com/i0ZcUuBRsP
Offensively: RHH. Wide set up and barrel resting on shoulder. Hands go back, barrel tilts up, and weight rocks into the backside during the load. There is no stride, just a heel lift. High, two handed finish.
Defensively: Wide base to prepare for the ground ball. Quick first step and gets into a position to make plays. Fields ball out in front and funnels to belt line. Arm is quick and whippy.
Pitching: RHP. Out of the wind up uses a rocker step and leg lift to chest height. On glove break the arm goes down to begin the circle. Out of the stretch he comes set with weight on the backside and in a straight line to home plate. Hands are at chest height and stay there until glove break. The leg lift is to waist height and goes down and out as he makes his way down the mound.

6-foot, 160-pound primary pitcher sat 82-83 from a high 3/4 arm slot with a whippy arm action. Fastball is flat while changeup at 73-75 small arm-side run and some sink. Curveball at 72-73 showed 11/5 rotation with some depth at times. The right-handed hitter starts from a square stance and utilizes a lift-and-replace stride to begin. Displayed a direct swing path with balance throughout and a feel for the barrel. Registered a bat exit velocity of 86 mph and ran a 7.26 60-yard dash. Showcased active feet while playing through the ball defensively with solid 83 mph arm strength across the diamond.
