The career of Shane McClanahan has been brief thus far, but he has been another arm in the continuing reloading of the Tampa Bay Rays.

Taken with the 31^st Pick of 2016’s Amateur Draft, the southpaw, who played his college ball at South Florida, could stay in state.  McClanahan debuted for Tampa in late April of 2021, earning a spot on the Starting Rotation.  He finished the season with a strong 10-6 Record and was seventh in Rookie of the Year voting.

McClanahan went to the All-Star Game as an MLB sophomore, completing the year going 12-8 with a 2.54 ERA and a sub-one WHIP (0.954).  He was also sixth in Cy Young voting. The hurler made the All-Star Team again in 2023, and had another good season (11-2, 3.29 ERA) albeit in only 21 starts.  

Will 2024 bring McLanahan another All-Star year?
