3 years agoTampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Shane McClanahan dazzled in the team's 4-2, 10-inning victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday. He pitched seven scoreless innings, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out 11. His strikeout total matched his season-high, but this was easily his most impressive outing of the year. Through seven starts, the southpaw has gone 2-2 with a 2.52 ERA and a 0.92 WHIP. He has a 38.2% strikeout rate, which ranks in the 96th percentile of the league. Additionally, the average velocity on his primary pitch, his four-seam fastball, is up slightly from 96.4 mph last year to 97.0 mph this year. The 25-year-old will look to keep rolling in his next trip to the mound on Tuesday against the Detroit Tigers.--Andrew Ericksen - RotoBaller
