Shane McClanahan made history last season when he was the first pitcher to make his major league debut in the playoffs. He is a top Rays prospect, and has been dominant in his limited spring appearances. In three innings pitched, he’s struck out seven and only given up one hit.
It’s amazing how quickly that has come about. 2019 was his first full season in the minor leagues, finishing the year in Double-A. In 53 innings at that level, McClanahan yielded a high strike out rate and low home run rate, but gave up quite a few walks.
