12/27/2007 - Christmas Camp and Tournament - 2007 McKeon is a long, lean and wiry young left handed pitcher. He showed the ability to stay mostly around the plate with his pitches, and his fastball had some arm side life. Can work to clean up his balance to help his arm work on a more consistent path out of the glove and out front to a more consistent release point. Can also work on his direction, front hip and shoulder need to stay in line longer to help him keep his fingers behind the ball longer - will help him improve his curveball rotation, and should also help him improve the plane on his fastball. Also showed solid defensive ability at first base. Needs to work on keeping his front side in longer, and on flattening out his stroke at the plate. Has more value on the mound at present, though he does have some two-way potential as well.
