McDougal’s Debut Sparks Buzz: Is Relief Role Fast Track To The Majors?

White Sox right-hander Tanner McDougal made his first MLB Spring Training appearance over the weekend, and the 22-year-old did not disappoint.

McDougal took the mound in the eighth inning of Sunday’s game against the Brewers at Camelback Ranch, tasked with protecting a two-run lead. He proceeded to fire two dominant, scoreless innings, allowing just one hit while striking out two en route to recording a save.

What stood out most was his fastball, which touched triple digits multiple times.
