2026 RHP Kaiden McCarthy (VT) comes out pumping in 1st start up north, sat 97-99 mph, electric arm speed & jumping out of hand. 1st K came on CH, improved throughout; CB was go-to, tight spin 12-6 shape in low-80s w/ some teeth. Clip below #MLBDraft @PG_Draft

Kaiden McCarthy will instantly move into the top tier of northeast preps for 2026. Strong argument to be made for him as the top arm in the region.

Kaiden McCarthy = Polished

A giant uppercut from Josh Elander; his first haymaker in Knoxville!

2027 RHP Kaiden McCarthy has committed to @Vol_Baseball.

The No. 21 prospect in the 2027 Draft — No. 3 RHP.

Excellent, excellent mover with budding stuff. As good a starting pitcher prospect as you’ll find.

[Jheremy Brown @jbrownpg]

Shocking, #GoVols add another premier arm to the stable. 2027 RHP Kaiden McCarthy has been a fun one to follow since he was 14…plus he’s from VERMONT.

Always been advanced pitchability w/ refined command, heater creeping into upper-90s w/ real spin. #RockyTop
