Chayce McDermott Struggles In Big-League Debut
1 month agoBaltimore Orioles pitching prospect Chayce McDermott earned a no-decision in his big-league debut on Wednesday versus the Miami Marlins. The 25-year-old tossed four innings and allowed five hits, three runs, two walks and struck out three on the evening. It was mixed results for the right-hander, who has been a strikeout machine for Triple-A Bowie this season. Much of his success for Bowie this season was dependent on getting out of jams via the strikeout, but the big leagues are a whole different ballgame and hitters will take advantage when they can. With the trade deadline approaching, that will likely determine where McDermott will spend the majority of the second half, but he is tentatively lined up to face the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday. For now, McDermott is more of a wait and see in deeper mixed leagues.
