One of the top two-way prospects in Kansas’ 2027 class INF/RHP Connor McCool (Shawnee Mission South) looked the part on both sides of the ball in Tuesday’s event. McCool got the day started, showing off his athleticism by running a 6.84 60 to go along with a 30.1” - both among the top marks of the event. The 6-foot, 162-pound righty put together a loud round of BP, averaging 89 mph per batted ball with a top mark of 94.3 mph, sending his best ball 332 feet. McCool then showed off his arm strength, firing a 85 mph bullet across the infield on his firmest throw. That arm strength transferred over to the mound where he pitched at 82-84 mph with 2,200+ average RPM of spin on his fastball with a 2,400+ RPM slider and changeup to pair.
2/13/24

Another freshman that caught our eye was INF/RHP Connor McCool (Shawnee Mission South, 2027). At 6-foot, 165-pound, McCool offers plenty of projection on a lean frame. He showed a short repeatable swing that stayed through the middle of the field, producing exit velos up to 93 mph with bat speeds upwards of 70+ mph. He showed smooth, athletic actions on the infield with an arm posting one of the top infield velocities at 87 mph to go alongside an event-leading mark of 3.91 in the 30. On the mound, the righty was up to 85 mph with a changeup at 74-75 mph and a curveball at 69-70 mph.
