Riley McDade

Evaluation

\"Riley showed well as a two-way player with a smooth load and good direction in the box. He demonstrated the ability to hit for contact with occasional gap power. As he continues to mature, developing a clear identity at the plate and embracing a slasher-style approach will help him create more consistent impact. He is not a pure power hitter right now, but with added functional strength and refinement, more pop will likely come.On the mound, Riley sat 81–82 and showed a solid foundation. He has long levers and a projectable frame that could allow for a jump in velocity with more lower-half engagement and added strength. His delivery has room to become more explosive, but the raw ingredients are there.Overall, Riley brings a lot of projection, With continued physical development and a focused approach, he has the tools to make big strides on both sides of the ball.\"
