Right-handed pitching prospect and the Cardinals' 2021 first-round draft pick Michael McGreevy received his first promotion to Class AAA Memphis, the club announced on Saturday.
McGreevy, 22, began the 2023 MiLB season in Class AA Springfield, where he ended the 2022 season after 20 starts. The former first-round selection made three starts for Springfield to begin the new year and went 2-0 with a 1.45 ERA in 18 2/3 innings. He compiled 16 strikeouts and walked just one batter in that stretch.
In both of his last two outings, McGreevy completed at least seven innings with his longest being a 7 2/3 inning start during which he allowed one run and didn’t walk a batter on April 13.
