Scouting Report

Assets
  • McCracken is one of the more consistent switch-hitters around, hitting equally well across the board from both sides. He's patient enough to regularly work himself ahead in the count.
Flaws
  • Has big trouble following the breaking ball. Though he has good speed, he doesn't know how to pick his spots when base stealing.
Career Potential
  • Decent reserve outfielder.
