Purnal McNee
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching There are few guys in this league that can paint the corners like this guy can. He's so good, the umps tend to give him the benefit of the doubt. His fastball is just average, and therefore he relies heavily on placing it in different parts of the strike zone. His composure needs work. When McNee starts getting hit, he gets mad and loses concentration. He's trying to develop a sinker, but as of yet it's been well below par. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is merely average. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. McNee is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but McNee has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use McNee as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook I really like what this guy brings to the table.
