Mariners Select Reggie McClain

By Steve Adams | August 2, 2019 at 12:10pm CDT

The Mariners announced Friday that they’ve selected the contract of right-hander Reggie McClain. He’ll meet the team in Houston and join manager Scott Servais’ bullpen mix.

McClain, 26, was Seattle’s 13th-round draft pick back in 2016 and has posted strong numbers at three different minor league levels this season (Class-A Advanced, Double-A and Triple-A). In all, he’s tallied 72 2/3 innings of 2.23 ERA ball with 8.9 K/9, 2.7 BB/9, 0.5 HR/9 and a ground-ball rate north of 57 percent.

That success corresponds with a shift from the rotation to the bullpen; McClain struggled to keep his ERA south of 5.00 in two trips through the Class-A Advanced California League in 2016-17 before breaking out as a fast riser with the move to a relief role in 2019. He’s not ranked among the club’s top prospects, but his excellent season to date will earn him a chance to carve out a spot in the Mariners’ bullpen moving forward.

Seattle’s 40-man roster is now up to a total of 38 players.

    They just subtracted two guys from that horrible unit. Probably the worst bullpen in the league now.

    What is 0.5 HR, a 200 foot fly ball?

      Really!!?? It’s one HR every 18 innings. Is that clearer?

    Mariners org has been leaking information on Justus Sheffield’s success in his last 8 starts since his move to Arkansas (he better do well at AA!) Sounds like one of the last 2 spots on the 40 man roster has his name on it.

      Sheffield is already on the 40-man roster as he was added to it last year on the Yankees in September and added to ours when we traded for him.

      Maybe we see Justin Dunn and Kyle Lewis added in September??

        Dunn and Lewis have to be added this offseason because of the Rule-5 draft, so why not give them some time in the bigs?
