The most improved returning player was hands down James McCoy. The up and coming corner infield/outfield prospect was featured earlier this fall in 2023 MLB Draft: Rising Hitters to Watch. He’s tall, strong and athletic at 6-foot-4, 205 pounds. Against Xavier the switch-hitter doubled and homered, both from the left side. McCoy red-shirted in 2022, batted .302 this summer with Kenosha in the Northwoods League and was then the best player this fall for the Wildcats. He has plus raw power from both sides of the plate and showed an above average arm from third base. He moves better to his left than his right and will need to continue to work to become a complete defender at the hot corner. Currently, he looks the part of a mid-to-early Day Two type of prospect with his athleticism, tools, skills and competitive makeup.

James McCoy, 3B/OF, Kentucky– Strong and athletic at 6-foot-4, 205 pounds, the switch-hitter doubled and homered, both from the left side, against Xavier this fall. The up and coming corner infield/outfield prospect redshirted in 2022 and was hands-down the best player this fall for the Wildcats. He has plus raw power from both sides of the plate and showed above arm strength from third base. He moves better to his left than his right and will need to continue to work to become a complete defender at the hot corner. Currently, he looks the part of a mid-to-early Day Two type of prospect with his athleticism, tools, skills and competitive makeup. Day One is not out of the question with continued development and high-level performance, whether it’s in 2023 as a redshirt-freshman eligible, or in 2024 after his third year in college.
