Vermont Pitcher Could Shatter Draft Record | Burlington News
Description
A teenage pitching phenom from Vermont could shatter records this weekend—Kaiden McCarthy, 17, is projected as a top draft pick and could become the first-ever MLB draftee from the state if selected in the first three rounds. Known for his electric fastball and prior experience with the Vermont Lake Monsters, McCarthy’s talent has earned him top-60 rankings from MLB.com and top-52 from ESPN’s Kiley McDaniel. With only two Vermonters ever drafted in the fourth round before, McCarthy’s potential ascent could rewrite the state’s baseball legacy. His journey is also chronicled in the docuseries The Prospect, where he reveals how his love for the mound and increasing velocity helped him discover his special talent.
