Grant McCray OF. DOB: 12/7/2000. B-L, T-R. 6'2", 190 lbs. Drafted 2019 Round 3.
2022(A): .291/.383/.525, 21 HR, 35 SB, 11.4 BB%, 29.2 K%, 507 PA.
2022(A+): .269/.387/.423, 2 HR, 8 SB, 14.5 BB%, 35.5 K%, 62 PA.
Grant McCray is a 5-tool prospect who was very raw when drafted who everybody knew would be a project. After 3 years of struggles to find traction, definitely not helped by the lost COVID season, he broke out last year with a scintillating combination of power and speed backed up by solid defense in CF for SJ Giants. He continued to perform well but in a SSS after a late season promotion to A+ Eugene. The problem for McCray is he may be starting to run out of time. He will be Rule 5 Draft eligible after this season and will likely be starting out back in Eugene. He will likely need to put up similar numbers early and get a midseason promotion to AA and keep it going there to put himself in position to be added to the 40-man roster next December. The ceiling is high so the Giants will want to give him every opportunity to reach it.
We need to sprinkle some salt on these CF prospects! McCray, Brown, Ramos... We just need one or two to make it to the big club!
