McConnell stands in at 5-foot-10, 160-pounds with a lean athletic frame. Offensively- Righty sets up in an open stance with his feet just outside shoulder width. Shows a slight knee bend with an upright torso holding his hands in front of the back shoulder using little pre-pitch bat movement. On pitch, his trigger is a toe tap into a knee raise to stride forward squaring up to the pitcher while his hands move back slightly into his hitting position. Shows quick hands to the zone with a level barrel path throughout into a high two-handed finish. Has good lower body rotation getting whole frame involved in swing. Demonstrated ability to hit line drives up the middle and to the opposite field during batting practice round. Clean, fluid swing with potential. Recorded an exit velocity of 88 MPH. Defensively- Good approach and footwork to get under the baseball. Shows good crow hop mechanics gaining ground on the throw. Could use a longer outfielder arm swing with more downhill throwing action. Moves well left/right and was accurate with throws. Recorded a positional arm velocity of 78 MPH.
