Ian McKinney, 24, SP- Modesto Nuts
I want to start off with a guy that pitched lights out this year for Modesto. Ian McKinney isn’t a hard-throwing pitcher but the way he can mix up his stuff has resulted in his success. In 25 games, he held a 12-5 record with a 2.84 ERA. McKinney recorded 148 strikeouts in 136.1 innings pitched.
The 24-year-old was able to work quickly in counts which led to 9.8 SO/9 IP. I think McKinney is going to pitch well next year for Double-A Arkansas and I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a big 2020 campaign.
