View Draft Report

MacLean is one of the most interesting pitching prospects in the Northwest and was a pick to click for many area scouts. A classic projection lefthander, MacLean is command-oriented with a clean delivery and a track record of throwing strikes going back to his time in the Little League World Series. Over the summer at the Area Code Games, MacLean showed a fastball that ranged from 83-87 mph for the most part, with a 69-74 mph curveball that had big, 12-to-6 shape. While both pitches needed more power, MacLean spun his curveball in the 2,500 rpm range and evaluators loved his feel for spotting up consistently and the potential in his lanky, 6-foot-2 frame. Scouts said MacLean was trending in the right direction velo-wise, and he showed better stuff in an early bullpen session this January, but teams weren’t able to see any game action of MacLean due to the coronavirus pandemic. MacLean is a throwing partner with projected first-rounder Mick Abel and would have been seen frequently this spring under normal circumstances. Now with a shorter draft, it’s more likely that teams let MacLean get to Washington and make his jump at school, though many scouts were already bought into his future upside.
