Chayce McDermott is a six-foot-three, 197 lb. right-handed starting pitcher from Anderson, IN. Born on August 22, 1998, he was chosen by the Houston Astros in the 2021 draft with their fourth-round choice — the 132nd overall choice.
Of the 58 players to get selected at the 132nd spot, 21 have made the majors, led by Devon White (47.3 WAR). Taken out of Ball State University, McDermott could one day be the 13th to reach the majors, chief amongst them Zach Plesac (4.4 WAR). As a senior, McDermott struck out 13.6 batters per nine innings.
