PROSPECT: Michael McGreevy, SP, St. Louis Cardinals
ANALYSIS: The Cardinals made McGreevy their first pick at 18th overall in the 2021 draft out of UC Santa Barbara. Considered a polished pitcher, McGreevy finished his first full pro season in Double-A, posting a 3.99 ERA over 144 1/3 innings, but posting a sub-20% strikeout rate.
The Cardinals were confident in McGreevy's ability and opened him at Double-A Springfield. That didn't last long, with McGreevy moving up to Triple-A Memphis after just three starts, where he's more than five years younger than the average player in the International League.
McGreevy's elite command and control allow his stuff to play up, as he works in the low-90s with his fastball and features three secondary offerings that all rank as average or better pitches. He's posted a 2.55 ERA over 53 innings, with a 41/12 K/BB rate.
VERDICT: McGreevy has a profile of a mid-rotation arm, and he's seemingly getting better as he climbs the minor league ladder. He is a deep dynasty add at this point only, especially with the logjam in the Cardinal rotation. That said, with their age and free agency after 2023 in St. Louis, he could potentially be in contention for a 2024 rotation spot.
