Chayce McDermott Racks Up 12 More K's For Triple-A Norfolk
5 months agoBaltimore Orioles pitching prospect Chayce McDermott put together a strong performance on Monday for Triple-A Norfolk. McDermott tossed seven innings of one-run ball, allowing three hits with three walks and a career-high 12 strikeouts. McDermott's 12 strikeouts push his season total to 121 in 83 innings. Walks have been an issue for the right-hander this season, but his ability to strikeout opposing batters has saved him in many situations and helped him keep a steady 3.58 ERA for the season. With fellow pitching prospect Cade Povich already on the big-league roster, McDermott could be next in line, should the Orioles need an arm for their rotation. McDermott is worth rostering in dynasty leagues, but due to his high WHIP of 1.40, he would be more of a streaming option in redraft leagues, specifically for strikeouts.
