Even Rays manager Kevin Cash weighed in on McKay's selection, and the possibilities that might arise with him.
"I think it's an exciting pick," Cash said. "I've got enough information from our entire scouting department. They're very, very excited to get him and some of the other guys we've drafted here over the last day or two. But McKay, the pitching and hitting aspect of it, it's going to be fun to kind of watch how that unfolds over this season, next season and how he progresses."
The Rays rounded out the first day with solid picks.
