Shane McClanahan will be a redshirt sophomore at University of South Florida in 2018. He is a thin whippy LHP listed at 6'1", 170 lbs with a big fastball that goes 93-96 MPH. His main calling card is 104 K's in 74 IP as a Redshirt Freshman last season which has created some early buzz for the 2018 draft. I wasn't able to find a scouting report of his other pitches.
On video, he has a slight frame that does look like it can fill out. He has more of a "tall and fall" delivery with a 3/4 release. Here is his full pitching line from 2017:
4-2, 3.28, 74 IP, 35 BB, 104 K.
I have to say, he looks like a future lefty reliever to my eye. He could be a SP if he fills out his frames and has enough secondary stuff. No more than a second tier draft prospect for me.

Who would you say is your early favorite LHP prospect in this draft?
ReplyDeleteI don't even know myself. I'll find out as we go through these profiles.
DeletePresumably the Giants have faith that they can re-sign Hundley, since they now have released Fedex to make room for Micah Johnson on the 40-man roster.
ReplyDeleteVroooom!!!
DeleteGiants weren't going to offer Fedex arbitration anyway. They could still try to sign him to a minor league deal.
