Sean McLaughlin

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #330 prospect in 2012 draft
  In a topsy-turvy spring in Georgia, the athletic McLaughlin had draft helium, despite his 5-foot-11, 184-pound frame. He's athletic enough to play center field, and if he makes it to campus for Georgia, he could use his 6.7-second speed and solid lefthanded bat to hit atop the lineup. However, pushing his fastball up to 95 mph and pitching at 91-92 with above-average life on the pitch made him move up draft boards. McLaughlin doesn't have a consistent secondary pitch but hasn't needed it yet. His athletic ability and aptitude give scouts hope he could develop one sooner than later.
