ARLINGTON, Texas — It’s been a season of transition for Reggie McClain. A starter for much of his college and pro career, he was asked to become a full-time reliever this season. That switch allowed him to climb the organizational ladder at a unique pace, going from High-A to Class AA to Class AAA and now the big leagues in the span of one season.
Despite that meteoric rise through the system, McClain knows he’s far from a finished product. He’s still trying to develop the routines of a reliever in his daily workouts, throwing sessions, warm-up plan and in-game mindset.
