MLB／光芒二刀流大物新秀 即将完成大联盟初亮相
根据美国媒体报导，坦帕湾光芒准备将阵中大物新秀二刀流麦凯（Brendan McKay）叫上大
联盟。准备在美国时间本周日面对游骑兵先发登板，将完成大联盟生涯初亮相。
麦凯在业余时期就以投打二刀流闻名，连续三季赢得象征最优秀投打球员欧勒鲁奖，多次入
选代表队也曾来台湾与中华培训队进行交流。在2014年大联盟选秀会上，以首轮第四顺位加
盟光芒，签约金超过700万美金。
进入光芒农场体系后，麦凯被评为光芒农场第二名新秀、以及入选官网百大新秀第23名；本
季从2A出发已经在3A以投手身分出赛5场含4场先发，战绩是3胜0败、防御率1.08；打者身分
出赛15场，打击率2成65、4轰、10打点。
麦凯进入职棒后，快速球均速拉高至92到95英哩，并且能够非常好地游走在本垒板两侧。武
器库中曲球和切球都是高于大联盟平均水平表现，特别是切球已经具备高度发展；控球能力
是他最突出的投球特质。
转换作为一名打者，麦凯在打击区上有高度耐心，小联盟至今单季吞不超过60次三振，且上
垒能力多重具备大联盟平均水准的打击力量；光芒一路以投球为主但持续培养麦凯作为打者
的成长素质。

The recipient of the John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year Award in each of his
three seasons at Louisville, McKay was regarded by many as the best two-way Dra
ft prospect since Dave Winfield in 1973. He took home both the Golden Spikes and
Dick Howser Awards as college baseball's top player as a junior in 2017, when h
e went 11-3 with a 2.56 ERA and a school-record 146 strikeouts in 16 starts whil
e also hitting .341 with 18 home runs and 57 RBIs. The Rays have continued to de
velop McKay as a two-way player in pro ball after selecting him No. 4 overall an
d signing him for $7,007,500, though so far he's had more success on the mound.
McKay operates with a 92-95 mph fastball and commands it exceptionally well agai
nst hitters on both sides of the plate. Both his curveball and cutter project to
be above-average pitches, with the latter currently ahead of the former, and he
's developed good feel for a changeup as a pro after using it sparingly in colle
ge. Everything he throws plays up because he has plus command and knows how to s
equence his pitches. As a hitter, McKay demonstrates a patient, discerning appro
ach, with a knack for getting on base, though his overall impact with the bat ha
s been underwhelming as a pro.
McKay was limited in his first full season by a pair of oblique injuries, the se
cond of which he sustained while swinging, highlighting the inherent risk of dev
eloping a two-way player. The Rays would like to reduce McKay's overall workload
in 2019 and won't deploy him as a first baseman, although a return to the posit
ion later in McKay's career has not been ruled out. The club still is very inter
ested in developing McKay's bat, however, and the plan is to have him DH around
his pitching schedule as they continue to develop him as a two-way player.
