Mike Ashmore on Zach McAllister

Written by Greg Fertel | 12 February 2010

Mike Ashmore continues his 2009 Thunder A-Z series and got to Zach McAllister last night. It's a very interesting take on McAllister that you won't find elsewhere. While we here at Pending Pinstripes focus on numbers and scouting reports, it's different seeing what a reporter who covers him on a daily basis has to say about him. His outlook for McAllister is pretty optimistic:

I don’t think anyone foresees him as a top of the rotation starter in the big leagues…but to say he could be a two on some teams, in my opinion, isn’t a stretch.  I think he profiles as a three right now, but that’s only because he doesn’t really have one standout pitch.

Go ahead and read the entire piece for yourself.
