Scouting Report

• 7/5: McKay optioned to Triple-A

The recipient of the John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year Award in each of his three seasons at Louisville, McKay was regarded by many as the best two-way Draft prospect since Dave Winfield in 1973. He took home both the Golden Spikes and Dick Howser Awards as college baseball's top player as a junior in 2017, when he went 11-3 with a 2.56 ERA and a school-record 146 strikeouts in 16 starts while also hitting .341 with 18 home runs and 57 RBIs. The Rays have continued to develop McKay as a two-way player in pro ball after selecting him No. 4 overall and signing him for $7,007,500, though so far he's had more success on the mound.

McKay operates with a 92-95 mph fastball and commands it exceptionally well against hitters on both sides of the plate. Both his curveball and cutter project to be above-average pitches, with the latter currently ahead of the former, and he's developed good feel for a changeup as a pro after using it sparingly in college. Everything he throws plays up because he has plus command and knows how to sequence his pitches. As a hitter, McKay demonstrates a patient, discerning approach, with a knack for getting on base, though his overall impact with the bat has been underwhelming as a pro.

McKay was limited in his first full season by a pair of oblique injuries, the second of which he sustained while swinging, highlighting the inherent risk of developing a two-way player. The Rays would like to reduce McKay's overall workload in 2019 and won't deploy him as a first baseman, although a return to the position later in McKay's career has not been ruled out. The club still is very interested in developing McKay's bat, however, and the plan is to have him DH around his pitching schedule as they continue to develop him as a two-way player.

Pitch Movement

How this works: Every pitch is affected by the forces of gravity, which means that every pitch drops on its way from the mound to the plate. These numbers are reported with gravity, which makes them larger and different than other pitch movement numbers you may have seen. Since gravity requires time, and slower pitches aren’t ‘better’ just because they have more time to move, the movement of a pitch is compared to ‘average’ movement by comparing it to other MLB pitch types within +/- 2 MPH and from within +/- 0.5 feet of extension and release.
