The Tampa Bay Rays No. 3 prospect and former Louisville baseball star, Brendan McKay, will be used as a designated hitter following a day off from pitching. McKay was the highest MLB Draft selection in University of Louisville’s history, going No. 4 overall to the Tampa Bay Rays.
He chose Louisville after being selected in the 34th by San Diego in the 2014 MLB Draft. In his three years at Louisville, he made a lasting impression both with numbers and as a player fans could love.
As a Cardinal, McKay ended his career with .328 batting average and 28 home runs.
