2022 California Workout Showcase (Sunday)
Grant McKey is a 2024 LHP with a 5-11 150 lb. frame from Hillsboro, OR who attends Central Catholic. Features a tall, lean build with room to add more. Ran a 7.52 60-yard dash. Primary first baseman. Showcased solid footwork throughout defensive workouts. Catches the ball out front. Still developing glove action fluidity through catchpoint. Throws were fairly accurate with decent carry using a medium arm circle. More arm strength should come as the frame fills out further. Left-handed hitter. Utilizes a slightly open stance with a wide base. The lower half is semi-crouched while the hands are set up low. Showed a linear bat path through the zone with flashes of feel for the barrel. Uses the lower half well and gets a fair amount of extension out front. Approach stays through the middle of the field well. Likely to have power down the line when more strength is added to the frame. Also threw on the mound. Uses a low tempo semi-windup delivery into drop and drive mechanics. Gets the lower half involved down the mound. Hides the ball fairly well throughout long arm swing. Throws out of a 3/4 slot. Delivery has some deception up to release point. The fastball sat 65-69 mph with armside run. Still developing overall command of the offering. Paired it with a changeup at 63-65 mph with slight fading action. Creates solid armspeed deception on the offering. Has the ability to throw it for strikes often. Also showed a slider in the low-60’s with slurve-like actions. Flashed some feel for the pitch. Has time to continue to develop more bite on the offering. Excellent student.
