Uncommitted. Athletic 6-foot, 165-pound frame with room to add strength. McLaughlin impressed on Thursday as he went 1-for-3 while driving in a run. The left-handed hitter operates from a wide base with a toe-tap trigger. Strong hands from a compact swing with a flat bat path. In the sixth inning, McLaughlin sent a hard grounder back up the middle for an RBI single. He also drew a walk in his first plate appearance. Showed a strong arm at third base.
5/28/25
Uncommitted. Athletic 5-foot-11, 165-pound frame with room to add strength. Started at third base and hit out of the two-hole. McLaughlin showed well on Wednesday both in the field and on the mound. McLaughlin showed off an impressive arm at third base during I/O and it translated to game as he made a couple throws across the diamond. He hopped up on the mound in the fifth inning and threw two and two-thirds shutout innings. Fastball topped out at 81 and sat 77-79. Showed a curveball that sat 67-68 with depth. Also, threw one changeup that clocked in at 73. The left-handed hitter operates from a tall, wide base with a toe-tap trigger while working towards the plate. Showed a slight uphill bat path with strong hands. Interesting 2027 name to keep an eye on in central Illinois.
