Baseball recruiting isn’t as easily traceable, but McLean throws a 94-mph fastball, according to Perfect Game. It’s also a possibility that McLean surpasses college entirely, as he is projected to be an early selection in the next MLB Draft.

In his four innings pitched at the event, McLean gave up four runs on three hits while striking out four. He was also 5-for-19 at the plate with a home run and five RBIs.
