    Coastal Carolina’s Friday night starter, McCambley is a 6-foot-1, 205-pound righthander with a loud two-pitch mix but some significant reliever concerns. McCambley had moderate success in a hybrid role in 2018 and 2019, when he struck out around 10 batters per nine. Last summer, McCambley made five starts in the Cape Cod League to great success, posting a 1.74 ERA over 20.2 innings while striking out 24 and walking seven. He has steadily improved his fastball control over his three years at Coastal, and this spring was looking at a career-best walk rate (2.5 per nine) over four starts. McCambley has two plus pitches in his arsenal with a fastball that sits in the 92-94 mph range and is regularly up to 96-97. His breaking ball is another no-doubt plus offering, and some scouts have thought about putting 70 grades on it. It’s sharp, with late, downward bite and real wipeout potential. Coaches and evaluators have always wanted to see more out of McCambley’s changeup. Without a three-pitch mix, scouts wonder if relieving at the next level is more realistic. A fast, upbeat tempo on the mound adds to those concerns. While McCambley’s delivery isn’t what teams typically look for in a starter, he’s thrown enough strikes to give himself at least a chance to start, with more than enough stuff to fallback into a reliever role.
