It makes sense that playing a winter season in Australia has a space on Adam McKillican’s baseball bingo card, considering the vast options he\u0027s already landed on.
McKillican lists his fastball as sitting in the 91-95 mile per hour range this winter and he has added a “slightly harder slider,” to go along with a change-up and a curveball that he “hopes will be a weapon for me moving forward.
”in six games split over two levels in the Texas system in 2021.“I was fortunate enough to have a place to stay in Phoenix for that time in case a job came up,” admits McKillican. He had talked regularly with Rockies scout Matt Pignataro when at UBC and McKillican was “glad I was able to back him up and have a good year.” McKillican also lauds UBC coach Chris Pritchett, who suggested that he transfer for his senior when it became apparent that UBC wasn’t going to have a 2021 season due to travel restrictions. Pritchett also talked up McKillican to the coaches at Georgia Gwinnett, a program based in the Atlanta suburb of Lawrenceville, Ga.Article content “He was key in my development both as a baseball player and as a man and I am always glad to have the chance to compare notes with him about his experience in pro ball,” McKillican explained of Pritchett, whose 13-year pro career as a first baseman included four brief stints in the bigs and four seasons with the triple-A Canadians. McKillican was 7-3, with a 3.65 earned run average that season for a Georgia Gwinnett team that went 51-10 on its way to the title. He spent six games with Quebec after that before signing on with Texas as an undrafted free agent.More news, fewer ads: Our in-depth journalism is possible thanks to the support of our subscribers.
