LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2007 National Showcase
Ben McMahan is a 2008 C with a 6'0'', 192 lb. frame from Windermere, FL who attends Bishop Moore HS. He has a solid present build with some strength and maturity. He has good catching tools and is a quiet receiver with strong hands and good balance. McMahan threw a very strong 80 mph in drills and had a best pop time of 1.92 in game situations, not in drills. He tended to be inconsistent in his overall defensive approach and looked best when he was keeping things simple and not trying to do too much. Offensively, McMahan hits out of a spread, balanced stance with busy hands to start his swing and some wrapping action. He has strong hands and gets the bat going pretty well with some bat speed and line drive type of power. McMahan showed the ability to get the bat head to the ball against high velocity pitching, although he tends to get long at times. He has hitting potential, especially for a catcher. McMahan is an outstanding student.
