I am extremely excited and blessed to announce that I will be furthering my academic and athletic career at the University of South Carolina. I would like to thank all the coaches that helped me to fulfill my dreams of playing SEC baseball.

gamecocks🐔🙏 Thank you everyone!
I loved everything about USC but one thing that stuck with me the most is this tee drill
@CoachMonteLee
the 3 bat drill is a very important focusing on 3 aspects, power, speed, and bat path switching off from a short bat, heavy bat, and light bat every 2 swings.
@GamecockBasebll
Freshmen Year✅ Thank you teammates and coaches for a great highschool season.

‘27 Griff McKain (SC) showing off one of the higher upsides in the class.
FB: 85-88
CH: 77-78
CB: 72-75 (manipulates, tighter)
Long frame w/ uber-projectable profile. Feel for 3 with a quick arm and athletic frame.

It’s with great gratitude and responsibility that I’m announcing my commitment to the University of South Carolina. I would like to thank all of my coaches, trainers, family, and friends who have supported me this far.
Both Griffin McKain & Mac Morris of Carolina are already committed to South Carolina. We caught up with both following their second game of
#AllState
and asked about their decisions.

Another look here at McKain, this time at the plate as he doubles in the RCF gap. Projects as an arm, but has a very calm at the plate and has pop occasionally.

Commands the zone well with both pitches. Good extension on delivery. Had an impressive outing going deep into the game.

‘27 OF Griffin McKain (SC) stays on a CH just enough to line it off for a hit. Good athlete & runs very well, easy body projection & feel to hit, very young in the class too.

The speed for 2027 OF Griffin McKain is on full display here in the first inning. Slaps this ball to the left side & beats it out by a step; proceeds to swipe 2nd & 3rd pretty handily.
#14uWWBA
Handsy stroke here from 2027 OF Griffin McKain to spark the offense top 1; controls the barrel & shoots this single back up middle, swiped 2nd and came around to score. Speed plays, showed big range in CF in 1st game.

‘27 OF/LHP Griffin McKain (SC) opens the day living 85-88/89 with pretty easy life, landing sharp hook for Ks; really athletic mover & fast arm.

Griffin McKain (‘27 SC) getting it done with the glove and the bat here this morning. The

commit drives this ball over the CF head for a 3B then follows it up with an over the shoulder diving play in CF.

I forgot to make this post because I was traveling, but the bats were out big for South Carolina commits two days ago:
2026 Parker McGee
2027 Griffin McKain
2025 Will Craddock
Griffin McKain (‘27, SC) had a dominant five inning shutout performance today where he struck out eight. Projectable 6-2/170 frame. Was high usage w/ the FB he ran up to 87 that produced late whiff and flashed a developing low 70s SL.

@PG_Coastal
Griffin McKain (‘27 SC) peppers the oppo gap for a long 2B. Big bat speed & lift; high level 2-way ability. Was absolutely lights out in relief.
