Carson
McCaleb

C/INF Carson McCaleb (Timberland, 2023) had one of the more impressive showings on the day for Team Missouri. A strong 5-foot-9, 195-pound switch hitter, McCaleb generated easy juice from both sides of the plate, barreling up multiple balls at 95+ mph while peaking at 98.6 mph. His ability to repeat his swing from both sides of the plate is evident and so is his knack for the barrel, nearly leading the event in hard-hit percentage (56%). McCaleb is a quality receiver behind the plate as well, working down-to-up with his glove and utilizing his strong wrists to stick the baseball. He recorded the event’s quickest pop time (1.94) and was accurate on the bag throughout his defensive workout. McCaleb is one of the top uncommitted prospects in Missouri’s senior class. 

McCaleb’s brother, switch-hitting C Carson McCaleb (Timberland, 2023) was also a winner from this event. Built at 5-foot-9, 190-pounds with compact strength, McCaleb repeated a short, level swing from both sides of the plate in BP, averaging 85.3 mph off the barrel throughout. He brought a ‘hitterish’ look to the box, staying direct to the baseball without much added movement. Defensively, McCaleb popped 1.88-to-2.01 to the bag and topped at 75 mph from the crouch.
