Austin
McNabb

McNabb provided a future-starter's look in his bullpen with one of the highest ceilings in the class. Loose and whippy with easy effort and real body control, McNabb's best offering currently is his low 3/4 slot fastball, working at 90-91, touching 92 mph from a 4'6" release height. A super-strikethrower, McNabb spins a sweeper at 72-73 mph and a two-plane, softer curveball at 66-68 mph. His changeup is a usable pitch, fading at 80-81 mph. I love the upside in the Dayton recruit - it's a no-doubt, next-level starter with a plus fastball and real command, and his arm with a loose whip to suggest 95+ fastball velocities are in the tank.
