Analysis:

Logan McGuire is a versatile right-hander with experience in both starting and relief capacities. Lean, and athletic, McGuire filled out his frame in college. He missed most of the 2023 season and part of 2024 returning from Tommy John surgery. On the mound, he displays a quick arm with a three-quarters arm slot. He displays a 90-94 mph fastball touching 95-96 mph occasionally. His best pitch is a plus projecting fading low-80s change-up. He compliments his change of pace with a gyro slider. McGuire has also utilized a curveball and cutter. He struggled with command in 2024 after returning from injury, however, he has shown average command in the past. McGuire has worked as a starter and reliever and should initially be developed as a starter.

Future Projection:

Fastball- 50

Change-up- 60

Slider- 45

Command- 50
