Known on the summer showcase circuit for his Maria Sharapova-like grunt on every pitch, McCabe showed some of the best arm speed in the class leading up to his senior year. His fastball reached 95 mph and he flashed a plus curveball with hard, 12-to-6 snap; the pitch had a spin rate near 2900 when McCabe was going right. He missed the beginning of the season with the stomach flu, then felt discomfort when he returned. An MRI revealed fluid in McCabe's elbow and he was out for most of the spring. McCabe resumed throwing in late May but most scouts in the area didn't get to see him pitch. He's committed to Palm Beach State (Fla.), where he'll hope to return to his previous form and boost his draft stock.
