After being projected as high as the 25th selection in the draft, University of Miami pitcher Chris McMahon fell to 46th.
Colorado landed a polished collegiate pitcher in the second round—and McMahon appears dead-set on proving himself as first-round-worthy.
Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post quotes McMahon from his Zoom call on Friday: “You just have to keep going, obviously, and keep proving people wrong. Show them that I didn’t deserve to slide into (the second round). I plan on doing that.” McMahon pitched a 1.05 ERA over four starts in an abbreviated 2020, suggesting his prowess and tenacity was just getting started.
