06.19.18 Projectable, long and lean 6-foot-3, 170-pound frame. McCormack still has room to grow into his frame and further develop. McCormack is a right-handed pitcher who works from a high arm slot, hides the ball well, and has a quick arm. His fastball sat 88-90 with downward tilt. He has a sharp 12/6 breaking ball that comes out of the same slot and tunnel as his fastball, and he has feel for this pitch at 74-76 mph. He also threw his changeup in the bottom of the zone at 80-81 mph. McCormack reaches his balance point with his foot kicking out away from his body, but he works with good direction to the plate, lands square, and fills up the zone. He also showed the ability to pound strikes by using a slide-step out of the stretch. McCormack has a high ceiling, and has shown improvements in both stuff and command over the past year.
02.23.17 6-foot-3, 175-pound, wiry, long-limbed, projectable frame. The right-hander works from a high-¾ slot. His fastball ranged from 82-85 mph. His curveball was 66-69 mph with loose spin and 11-5 shape.
09.09.16 6-foot-3, 165-pound, wiry frame. Worked from a high-3/4 slot with whippy arm action. Pitched with his fastball at 84-87 mph, sitting mostly 85 mph. He showed a slider that ranged from 70-73 mph.
