North Carolina State 2B/OF

Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted
Age At Draft: 22.3
An undersized, 5-foot-10, 185-pound infielder and outfielder, McDonough ranked as the No. 283 player in the 2020 class but went undrafted and will head back to North Carolina State. McDonough is the sort of player who gets overlooked initially because of his size, but scouts like him more and more after seeing him play over longer periods. A second baseman and center fielder for the Wolfpack, McDonough is a solid-average runner who consistently puts the barrel on the baseball from both sides of the plate. While he doesn’t project to be a huge home run hitter, he has surprisingly loud exit velocities and can drive the ball into the gaps and potentially get to double-digit home runs over a full pro season. McDonough controls the zone well and has walked (40) nearly as much as he’s struck out (50) over his career at NC State. Also a savvy baserunner, McDonough has gone 17-for-19 (89.5%) in stolen base attempts in his 78-game career. While his tools and physicality don’t jump off the page, McDonough has a lot of positive performance indicators and is the type of player who could simply keep performing.

Bio:
Height: 5-10
Weight: 185 lbs
Hits/Throws: S-R
Hometown: Liberty Township, OH
School: NC State
Previously eligible in the 2020 draft, McDonough returns to campus where he looks to build on his .327/.407/.473 slash line in Raleigh. McDonough is a switch hitter that has consistent contact from both sides of the plate, but his power does lag behind (8 HR in college). He is a quick runner and has played well in center field for the Wolfpack, where he has a solid arm and a good glove.
Mack's spin -
Undersized players fair better in the infield and that is where McDonough's future will be.
I don't have him as one of the handful of premier middle fielders in this draft, but I do have him going in the 5th-7th round range.
