Ryan McDonald is a 2016 RHP/C with a 6-6 215 lb. frame from Charleston, SC who attends West Ashley HS. Extra large build with wide hips and big strength potential. Upper half rotational delivery, can use hips and lower half better to generate power to the plate, 3/4's arm slot with a full arm circle, tends to fall off to first base side on release. Fastball steady at 83-84 mph, mostly straight, have seen up to 87 mph in the past, pitched low in the zone with his fastball. Sweeping low 70's curveball showed occasional depth. Had a very good event with the bat, hits from a very spread stance with a loose extended swing, flashed good pull and lift ability but made consistent mid to oppo line drive contact in the games, showed a feel for the barrel. Excellent student, verbal commitment to West Virginia.
