Deck McGuire

Bio

School: Georgia Tech
Drafted: 11th overall pick in 2010 by the Toronto Blue Jays
Scouting Report: McGuire is an impressive young pitcher, winning the 2009 ACC Pitcher of the Year as a sophomore for Georgia Tech. In just his first year as a weekend starter, he went 11-2 with a 3.50 ERA in 16 starts, striking out 118 while walking 41 in 100.1 innings, not losing a game in the regular season.  The Richmond native is armed with an array of pitches, including a low to mid-90s fastball plus three solid off-speed pitches in his slider, changeup, and curveball.  Due to some problems in postseason play in 2009, there is some speculation as to whether he can handle tough situations, but most believe McGuire will be a big-time starting pitcher someday. The coming junior campaign could land McGuire in the top half of round one, if not top five overall. - www.draftamerica.com
