McGrath is an athletic 6-foot, 180 pound prospect. The right-handed hitting middle infielder had an exit velocity of 82 mph off the tee. He hits out of a balanced, athletic stance, with the hands set just off the back shoulder. He transitions the weight to the back leg with a leg lift. The hands push back into a good launch position before heading into the hitting zone on a slightly elevated plane. He stays on plane to and through contact, showing consistent loud line drives during the batting practice.
Defensively, McGrath showed athletic actions in the middle of the diamond and a velocity of 78 mph on his throws. The feet are light as he works into a balanced, fundamental fielding position. He breaks down behind the ground ball and shows soft hands transitions through the play. As he works into the throwing position, the feet create a direct line with the target, allowing the hips and shoulders to follow. He finishes through the play and shows a clean arm-swing.
