Duke-bound RHP Eamon McDermott brings mid-90s upside and real two-way athleticism
McDermott stands out as a hard-throwing righty with reported fastball velocity up to 96.2 mph, strong arm strength, and quick, efficient delivery traits that matter more than raw numbers alone because they suggest real strike-throwing upside and development ceiling. Recruiting profiles list him as a 6-foot-1, 185-pound RHP with a Georgetown commitment in the 2025 class, while scouting notes also point to athletic pop as a hitter, hinting at broader tools and competitive versatility. He looks like the kind of arm a staff wants if it values power, projection, and premium velocity.
