(1-0, 0.00 ERA, 1 G, 1 GS, 7 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 HR, 0 HBP, 0 BB, 5 K)
McKinney, a Cardinals fifth-rounder from 2013, has already pitched at both Class A Short Season State College and Rookie-level Johnson City in 2014, and it's at the latter spot that he's enjoyed the most success so far, albeit in the smallest of samples. In his Appy League debut, the 19-year-old left-hander scattered just the two hits with five strikeouts in seven innings against Bluefield. With only 42 1/3 professional innings under his belt, McKinney can only hope it's the start of a successful Minor League career. "Everyone wants to be healthy the whole year -- no injuries," he told MiLB.com. "A long-term goal is to get back to State College. As for right now, I just want to keep command of my fastballs and get the curve over for strikes, command the curve and throw it where I want to throw it."
