Good luck Big Hit Mac!

A few MLB players started their path through the Indy leagues.

I can't believe no MLB team would give him a shot

The truth is he?s just not a pro ball player. He did take somewhat of a step up this yr before his injury but he?s got a slider speed bat that has to cheat to get to a decent fastball.

That said he?s a great bulldog and a really good college player that def had the clutch gene at some huge times. He was without a doubt big hit Mac...and I have no problem appreciating him for that.

We had a pitcher go that route a few years ago, I can't remember his name. I think he is in high A or AA now.

[Martianlander]

Good luck. Well deserved. Hope he makes it.

If Pablo Sandoval can play pro ball so can Mac. Well at least single A ball.

[Commercecomet24]

Good luck, Mac! He earned his shot at pro ball.

He is a good college player but his bat speed isn’t quite there for the pro’s to get excited about unfortunately.
