The former 16th-round pick debuted in 2016 after performing well in the minor leagues, but didn’t catch many eyes with his performance. After a very solid start to 2017, Kevin McCarthy joined the major league club again. Spending time at both the AAA and MLB levels last season, McCarthy made it clear he belongs in a major league bullpen. The only question is, can he build off what he started last year, or is he due for regression in 2018?
If you haven’t read my Kings of Kauffman season preview for Wily Peralta, I highly suggest doing so.
