Right-handed reliever David McKay was picked off waivers from Seattle in August last year. The Tigers did have not anything ready in the farm system on the reliever end so took a chance on McKay. McKay features two pitches, a sinker, but he has stated in an article in the Detroit News, he throws a four-seam fastball. and a curveball. We will breakdown his pitches shortly but McKay’s journey to the majors is an interesting one. Originally drafted by the Kansas City Royals in 2016 in the 14th round out of Florida Atlantic University, he was traded to Seattle along with three other minor league pitchers to Seattle for cash considerations, which is something you don’t hear very often and was traded for organizational depth.
