LHP Sean McNair (Deerfield) had one of the better outings for the entire event - working two innings of one-hit ball with five strikeouts. Standing in a well-proportioned 5-foot-8, 163-pound frame. McNair attacked the zone with his three-pitch mix, while using a steady dose of each. His fastball played in the low-80’s (T84) with an average spin of 2220 rpm. He would then turn to a 75-76 mph slider with feel for the zone, before rounding his arsenal out with a quality splitter at 75-76 mph with heavy sink (avg. 0.8” IVB) and arm-side fade.

The left-hander gets horizontal run to his fastball that ran up to 87 mph and sat 85-87 mph. Displayed some control of a tight 2/8 slider at 75-77 mph and splitter at 75-78 mph. Worked quick from the third-base side of the rubber, getting significant extension driving down the mound. He displayed a quick ¾ arm action with a full circle at the back.
