BALLER MOVE: Stash in Deeper Leagues
CALL-UP ETA: June
ANALYSIS: McDermott is pitching quite well in the month of May, and his most recent start was no exception, as he struck out 10 batters over five innings. It now gives him 37 strikeouts and four walks over his last four starts (21.2 innings pitched).
McDermott averages 94 mph on his fastball and generates whiffs with all five of his pitches. His changeup and cutter are both missing bats at the highest clips, while the slider comes in third. All three of those pitches have been excellent offerings for him to pair off the fastball.
Chayce McDermott continues to miss a ton of bats in AAA. He generated a 39% whiff rate & 35% CSW while striking out 10. 59% strike rate but McDermott walked 1 now has 37 K/4 BB in his last 4 GS(21.2 IP). Could pitch in BAL soon

Things are coming together after a rough start to the year for McDermott. In his last six starts, he has a 3.48 ERA with a 38.5 percent strikeout rate to an 8.9 percent walk rate. As previously mentioned, over the last four, the walk rate has dropped to 4.7 percent and the strikeout rate is up to 43 percent.
McDermott will make starts in Baltimore this year, but it is just a matter of time. If a recent injured suffered by Baltimore pitcher John Means is serious, either fellow Orioles prospect Cade Povich or McDermott could earn the call. Which one gets the first crack at an MLB start? We really wish I had a crystal ball.
