MacNeill

Preseason All-State Showcase (February 11th, 2017)
MacNeill has a tall, physical build at 6-foot-5 200-pounds. One of the top performers from the event. Ran the 60 yard dash in 7.31. Offensively- MacNeill has a tall set up with hands above back shoulder. Uses a foot stride to start swing. Hands stay stagnant in load. Explosive hips and hands in swing. Finishes with some lift in a tall position. Recorded the top Exit Velocity recording at 101 mph. Defensively- fields ground balls on the outside of foot with continuous momentum going to target. Throws topped at 86 from a high 3/4 slot. Pitching- Fastball topped at 82 mph, sat mostly 79-81. Flashed a breaking ball at 58 mph and a changeup with armside fade. Narrow when he comes set. Balance point is tall, drives down the mound using back side to get directional toward homeplate. Creates good shoulder leverage as he lands down the mound. Big stride length and finish helps him create extension on release to get down in the zone. Long arm action from a high-3/4 slot. Look for MacNeill to make a jump in velocity as he continues to fill out his big frame.
