McGrady is 6-1 with an athletic frame that has some projection left to it. He hits from the right side from an upright open stance, strides on line, loads back to a wrap. Hips rotate completely with violence and he maintains good lower half balance. Keeps hands inside, short and quick to the ball, strength at contact point with extension through it, quick whippy bat. Slightly uphill swing path, line drive swing with some carry in gaps and power potential, showed good approach working primarily gap to gap, natural loft built into his swing, exit velocity was 87. In the infield, gets body behind ball and fields with average hands. Works through the ball, clean exchange. Throws from a high three-quarters arm slot with a short arm action, infield velocity was 79. Showed versatility taking balls in the outfield, where his arm was also 79.
