McKay, the Rays 1st round selection and 4th overall pick in the 2017 draft, quickly soared through the Rays system as a two-way player and made his big league debut this past season. In his debut season, he pitched in a total of 13 games for Tampa Bay and registered a 5.14 ERA / 4.03 FIP over 49 innings pitched, one inning short of meeting rookie eligibility.
Meanwhile, as a hitter, McKay was given 11 plate appearances and had two hits, including a home run.
