JEREMIAH McGEACHY (2027): THE UNDERVALUED, TOOL-RICH MIDDLE INFIELDER WITH ELITE HITTING ABILITY AND GAME-CHANGING ATHLETICISM

By BoggsBaseball.com Staff Writer Ariel Lewis January 2026

In the Class of 2027 and being a young Class of 2027 talent, it is rare to find a player who combines elite speed, big-league level strength, and high-end hitting ability while still being relatively under the radar. Yet that is exactly what makes Jeremiah McGeachy one of Georgia’s most intriguing — and most undervalued — infield prospects.

At 6’0”, 195 lbs, the Ellenwood, Georgia native brings a physical presence uncommon for his age. McGeachy’s current ranking simply does not reflect the true talent, tool set, or upward trajectory he possesses.

He is under-ranked and massively undervalued — and the data proves it.

Few infielders in the country run like this.

6.55 60-yard dash

For a 195-pound athlete, these are special numbers. His burst, acceleration, and stride efficiency give him defensive range and offensive versatility that the rankings have yet to fully acknowledge.

Scout Comment:

“Guys his size do not run 6.55. That is SEC-level speed. He’s one of the best athletes in the 2027 Georgia class.”

McGeachy’s hitting tools are easily among the best in his ranking tier — and arguably superior to many ranked significantly higher.

With a verified 98 mph exit velocity, he demonstrates:

• True power projection


• Advanced bat speed


• Strength through contact


• Loud, consistent barrel impact


• Ability to drive the ball with carry

His PG exit velocity history shows tremendous growth, signaling a hitter who is developing faster than most of his class. He already hits like a college-level bat.

Scout Comment:

“Jeremiah’s pop is real. His bat speed and strength combination is elite for a middle infielder his age. His rankings are behind his tools.”

An 83 mph infield arm at his age puts him near the top percentile of 2027 infielders. He can play:

• Shortstop: athletic enough to handle the left side


• Second Base: quick release & smooth footwork


• Third Base: strength, size, and arm power


• Center Field: versatility when needed

His defensive ceiling is far higher than his current ranking suggests.

Scout Comment:

“He’s tool-rich defensively. The arm strength, foot speed, and glove actions all translate.”

McGeachy isn’t an “upside-only” player.

He’s already performing against older competition.

At Stockbridge High School he earned:

1st Team All-District — Sophomore Season

This recognition proves his ability to translate tools into in-game impact — something the rankings often overlook.

Despite the exceptional measurable data, strong production, and rapid physical development, McGeachy remains ranked lower than his true ability level.

Reasons He Is Undervalued:

• His tools place him in the top-tier of 2027 athletes, yet his ranking suggests mid-tier status.


• His 6.55 speed is among the best in Georgia, regardless of position or class.


• His 98 mph exit velocity matches or exceeds players ranked much higher.


• His 83 mph infield arm gives him multi-position value that many rankings don’t fully reward.


• His physical maturation and athletic progression have outpaced his early evaluations.

Simply put:

The rankings have not caught up to who Jeremiah is today.

• Size: 6’0”, 183 lbs — strong, athletic frame


• Power: 94 mph EV with lift and carry


• Speed: 6.80 with plus acceleration


• Arm Strength: 86 mph OF velo


• Defense: Projectable range and instinct


• Ranked: PG & PBR evaluations validate his profile

His athleticism, hitting ability, and raw tools place him well above his current ranking — and rising fast.

College programs who evaluate tools instead of lists will love him:

• Speed for the middle infield


• Power that projects to the next level


• Arm strength that plays anywhere on the dirt


• Physicality and frame college coaches covet

His data profile already aligns with Division I recruiting standards, and if his development continues, he has the potential to draw future professional scouting attention.

Jeremiah McGeachy is not just under-ranked — he is one of the true sleepers in Georgia’s 2027 class.

Those who evaluate him early will benefit the most.
