What is up with Nolan McLean . Garner kid . 3rd base .
Any way he leaves Okie St to head home ? Or draft eligible ?
Draft guy as a pitcher I'd think. Too much swing and miss to work as a hitter. Reminds me of Bobby Dalbec who was on the Arizona CWS teams in the mid 2010s, with the Red Sox now. Two way guy in college, but hated pitching so he hit in pro ball and is in the bigs. McLean and Dalbec are all power on both sides of the ball.
McLean was also a QB at Garner and I believe went to OK State because of that, although he hasn't played football, not sure if he's still on scholly for football or not. I'm sure somebody here knows the story on his recruitment, State never messed with him in football so I'm guessing baseball didn't have a chance. Definitely a guy who would've been useful. Not sure if Dave wasn't willing to throw Avent a bone or what. Ben Finley was State's QB in that class
