Shane McClanahan – USF:   -     6.0-IP, 0-ER, 2-H, 9-K, 2-BB, LOSS

 PG  - With nearly 100 scouts in attendance, redshirt sophomore Shane McClanahan showed why he is considered to be a legit 1:1 prospect for the 2018 MLB Draft, and also why he is considered to have some to have the filthiest pure stuff in the class. The southpaw for USF is listed at 6-foot-2, 188-pounds with present length and broadness to the frame indicative of future strength gains. Even with room for more added strength he is still a very good athlete and repeats his up-tempo delivery very well on the mound.
The stuff is the natural place to gravitate to with McClanahan as there is a very real possibility for three plus or better pitches. The fastball is what he is known for, and thanks to his 70-grade arm speed, McClanahan can run the fastball into the mid-90s with relative ease. On Friday night, McClanahan worked anywhere from 90-97 mph consistently and can gear up to get the pitch to touch 98 and 99 mph, even touching 100 mph on some guns. McClanahan has great life and angle on his fastball, but what made the pitch so impressive was his ability to sequence and add and subtract. In the third inning, he sat at 90-92 mph with the first two outs and then went 97-97-98-98-99 to K a lefthanded hitter.

Ryan Rolison – Mississippi:      5.0-IP, 1-ER, 9-K, WIN

Tim Cate – Connecticut:         5.0-IP, 2-ER, 6-K, 3-BB, WIN

Taril Skubal – Seattle:            4.0-IP, 3-ER, 2-H, 4-K, 6-BB (!)
