McQuail slugged his way onto scouts' radars last summer, when he led the Valley League in home runs. He followed it up with a stellar spring, hitting .409/.486/.781 with 19 homers, 21 doubles and 80 RBIs--all team bests. A bit undersized at 6-foot, 213 pounds, McQuail generates decent power with a righthanded uppercut swing. He has a bat wrap in his set-up and does not have a particularly loose swing. McQuail is a decent runner, but he's stiff defensively in the infield and projects as a corner outfielder. Scouts are skeptical that he'll hit enough at that position in pro ball.
