Repertoire: fastball, curveball, changeup
Perfect Game scouting report: Body - strong, durable, plus frame. Pitching - over the top slot, easy arm, quick arm, deep extension, creates leverage, good tempo delivery, FB with good down angle, pretty lively, firm CB is a plus pitch, tight and big, good depth, David Wells-ish CB, good CU, plus arm side movement, turns it over, good feel, excellent three pitch mix, good pitchability
McGeary is committed to Stanford which could make him a tough sign. He’s drawn comparison to Andy Pettitte on the mound. A first round selection is likely but #6 could be a reach.

I need another bit of education….If you draft him and do not sign him is it a complete loss to the team…..is there any future rights or compensation to the Nats for say the Black draft pick?
Thanks

That question has two answers.
First, for Sean Black, there is no compensation. The only players that returned compensation for not signing under the old CBA were first round selections.
However, beginning this season, any player drafted in the first two rounds (supplemental first included) who is unsigned returns a comparable pick in the following year’s draft. For example, if the Nationals draft a player at #31 in 2007 and do not sign him, they receive the #31A in 2008 (i.e. they select one pick after #31)

Thanks, That is a very good thing then with the Alfonso pick. If they do not sign the pick they got for him then they should get another next year if I understand the specifics correctly?
