Drafted as a pitcher. 

Luke's Take: Had a K/BB ratio of nearly 7 this year. Groundball machine, worked 85-88 with his sinker in the game I watched (NCAA Regional vs. Morehead St). Best pitch is an above average changeup. Also has a solid curveball in the mid to low 70s. Big time performer, could outperform the typical Senior underslot if there is more velocity in the arm. If not, you'll likely see him pitch well in Aberdeen and then see him hit a wall as he moves up.

Also plays first.

80-81 was from his HS days right?

Found this on a Dodgers fan blog,

 

Magee has a track record of good command with the ability to punch above his weight in terms of strikeouts. Still, he can run his fastball into the low 90’s and back it up with a solid change up. He probably won’t be able to produce at quite the same levels as a pro, especially as he climbs the ladder and player are more adjusted to good speed mixing pitchers. Still, he has bottom rotation upside and the numbers to warrant a shot at starting in pro ball.

So he’s a starter or a good BP arm

St. John’s was the one seed in the big east tournament. I know Luke said in the general thread on the main board that he was someone he was keeping up with. Hopefully he has a little Zac Lowther in him.

We’re getting a little out of hand with these pitchers. One positional player so far?

We actually have about a team and a half at extended spring training in Florida waiting till Aberdeen starts.

Happy to have another Johnny on board. Haven’t followed the team much since the Panik years when I was there, but Blankmeyer has always seemed to run a good team. Hoping for the best with Kevin.

Joe Panik went to John Jay High School in East Fishkill, only 25 minutes from Brewster.
