PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. — At this point two years ago, Brendan McKay was a sensation. A two-way player who was the No. 2 prospect in the Rays farm system and the No. 14 prospect in the game, according to Baseball America’s rankings.
Since then, McKay has had shoulder surgery, a flexor strain in his forearm and thoracic outlet surgery. He has thrown a total of 12.2 innings in the minors the past two seasons.
So, yeah, McKay was thrilled to walk into spring training Thursday morning, even if his arrival was delayed by COVID protocols.
