Joe McDonald: RHP/OF, (2025) Sacred Heart Academy, MI. 6-foot, 160-pound. (58.5 mph bat speed average). (18.6 mph hand speed average). Setup was comprised of a tall open stance and a toe tap stride. Had a short simple swing plane and a level balanced finish. Line drive approach. Raw in the outfield, his throws to the bases were maxed out at 80 mph; has developing feet, a lengthy exchange, and soft hands. Fielded the ball deep with developing movement laterally. Solid on the mound, showing good arm speed he used a high ¾ arm angle and a quick arm action. Up-tempo type pitcher and uses decent effort. Has an athletic balance point. Lands closed with recoil finish. (Max spin 2174; Avg 2000).
