"Kevin McGonigle, a 5-foot-9 infielder, is ESPN's Kiley McDaniel's No. 2-ranked prospect and has had an excellent spring showing, mustering a .977 OPS and a .432 on-base percentage."
"Hinch noted that McGonigle raced around the bases in about 1.3 seconds, riding his excitement, which seems to have a tangible impact on other players."
"He knows the strike zone. Guys who know the strike zone are going to have a good chance to be the best version of themselves faster."
