Red Sox Draft Bryant University Pitcher Kevin McAvoy
Friday, June 06, 2014
Kevin McAvoy
A junior from Syracuse, New York, McAvoy started 15 games this season for the Bulldogs, posting a 9-1 record and a 2.62 ERA.
The right-handed McAvoy posted career-highs in innings (99 and 2/3) and strikeouts (94) this season, helping Bryant win the Northeast Conference Championship and earn a trip to the College World Series. He pitched 6 and 2/3 innings in the NCAA Tournament opener against Houston, allowing just 2 unearned runs in a strong performance.
The Bulldogs' ace has a year of eligibility remaining, so he could still return to school if he and the Red Sox can't agree to a contract. McAvoy is majoring in Business Administration at Bryant.
