Brody McCullough

McCullough made 18 appearances for Wingate during his 2019 freshman season and then transitioned to a starting role during the Covid-shortened 2020 season. In 2021 he split time as a starter and reliever but posted a 2.47 ERA while managing excellent strikeout and walk rates, and this spring as a full-time starter he continued to miss bats and prevent runs. The 6-foot-4, 205-pound righthander posted a 2.40 ERA over 11 starts and 63.2 innings, while striking out 110 batters (42.1 K%) and walking 24 (9.2 BB%). For his career at Wingate, McCullough has struck out 258 batters (32.3 K%), compared to just 72 walks (9.0 BB%). After a strong spring season, McCullough headed to the Cape Cod League, where he posted a 2.70 ERA over five starts and 20 innings for Hyannis, with 30 strikeouts (38.5 K%) and eight walks (10.3 BB%). McCullough throws a fastball in the lower 90s, a slider in the low-to-mid 80s and a mid-80s changeup. His college track record is impressive and his turn on the Cape late in the year before the draft could have teams even more excited.
