2026 MLB Rookies Ready to Shake Up the Game: Who Will Become the Next Superstar?
The 6-foot-2, 214-pound McLean is a pure athlete – he considered playing both football and baseball at Oklahoma State and pitched and hit for OSU throughout college, something that earned him the nickname of “Cowboy Ohtani.”
Fast forward to last season and McLean showed just how dominant he could be athletically late in the season with the Mets. In just eight starts, he racked up five wins, a sterling 2.06 ERA and 57 strikeouts in 48 innings pitched. His elite athleticism showed itself in how he could spin the ball effectively enough to get hitters to corkscrew themselves into the ground. The opposition batted just .071 against his curveball and none of the 117 batters who ended his at-bat facing a curve had an extra-base hit off McLean.
