    A veteran of Georgia's East Cobb program, where he played on a team featuring Posey and Quigley, Egan was an AFLAC All-American and had a lofty profile coming into his senior season. He then had an up-and-down campaign that cast some doubts on his draft status, starting with a loss of some of the athleticism that made him so attractive. One scout said he thought Egan was closer to 225 pounds than his listed 210, saying Egan's lower half had lost life. He questioned whether Egan could remain a catcher, where he had shown defensive polish the previous summer. His quiet demeanor doesn't particularly suit him for catcher. Egan's bat has a chance to play either at first base or behind the plate. He has long arms and some holes in his swing, but when he connects, the ball makes a different sound coming off the bat. His raw power was the best in the state, leading to speculation he could be drafted in the first three rounds.
