Will the Tampa Bay Rays be Tempted by USF Pitcher?

At the beginning of the NCAA season, University of South Florida left-handed pitcher Shane McClanahan was widely regarded as a top ten pick for this season’s MLB draft. That ranking would have had him drafted well before the Tampa Bay Rays were on the clock.

After a rough 2017-2018 season, McClanahan has seen his stock drop enough where he might now draw the attention of the Rays. But, will he?

The redshirt sophomore is a fastball throwing lefty who is two years removed from Tommy John surgery. But, following last season, he attracted the attention of just about everyone.
