Prospect Rankings
McKay is a big righty with a mid to low 90s sinking fastball, good changeup, and ok slider. He struggled to miss bats in AA and profiles as more of an org arm.
McKay was a project out of JuCo in 2018, and was largely pedestrian in his first full year in 2019. He had an injury in mid 2021 and went down to Clearwater for some rehab and development. He showed improvement on his return to Jersey Shore, including some dominance down the stretch.
