    McKinney has a knack for making pitches and a solid showcase track record, so he could go out in the first five rounds despite modest physical tools. The 5-foot-11, 183-pound lefthander, a Central Florida recruit, was throwing a bit harder this year,touching the low 90s with his fastball after sitting in the 87-89 mph range earlier in his career. His best attribute is his feel for pitching, as he has confidence in his plus changeup, which has fade and good separation from his fastball, as well as a slider and decent curveball. McKinney's body doesn't offer much projection, but he's athletic and repeats his delivery well.
