Pittsburgh Pirates: How Travis MacGregor Fits

Travis MacGregor is a 6’3″ and 180 pound right handed arm who will likely fit, like Nick Lodolo, in the upper teens. He is the typical Neal Huntington prep arm draft. He will start in the lower minors and the Pirates will take their time developing him and helping fill out his frame.

MacGregor currently sits in the low 90s and touches 94, and is committed to pitch at Clemson. The right hander will have plenty of time to develop, as he is 18 years and seven months old. By taking their time with MacGregor, they can help him refine for five or six years, putting him at 23 or 24 when he makes his Major League debut.
