View Draft Report
The 6-foot-7, 240-pound McVay made a successful transition to starting from the Florida International bullpen in 2012, posting a 3.36 ERA and 72 strikeouts in 64 innings. That showed needed durability for the Tommy John surgery alumnus, who hit 94 mph last year as a reliever and sat in the 87-90 mph range this spring. He has fringy secondary pitches and lacks the control (41 walks) to stick in a rotation long-term, but his size and arm strength are assets.
