Cardinals draft blog: Cardinals draft pitcher with perfect game on resume

In the 18th round, the Cardinals picked Seton Hall junior righthander Shane McCarthy.

In April 2016, McCarthy became the first Seton Hall pitcher ever to throw a perfect game. McCarthy struck out eight batters against LIU-Brooklyn to earn the perfect game.

The 2017 season was not as kind to McCarthy. He made 12 starts and compiled a 3-7 record and a 5.13 ERA with no complete games.
