On 89 pitches and across six innings of work on Tuesday, Michael McGreevy spun a scoreless start as he kept Lehigh Valley, Philadelphia’s Class AAA affiliate, limited to six hits and a walk during Memphis’s 6-3 road win.
McGreevy, 22, relied mostly on a combination of his sinker and slider as the two pitches accounted for 84% percent of his pitch usage, per statcast. His sinker, which he used for 51% of his pitches on Tuesday, averaged 90.7 mph, reached a maximum velocity of 92.1 mph, and kept hitters to an average exit velocity of 88.7 mph.
McGreevy’s six innings of scoreless baseball made it the third time in his three Class AAA starts that the 22-year-old completed six or more innings.
