Deck McGuire was recognized as a Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American for his 8-1 record and 3.46 ERA as the Yellow Jackets' mid-week starter last year. Moved to the Friday starter role for the 2009 season, McGuire took off, notching a 10-0 record and racking up 101 strikeouts in just 85 2/3 innings. Already being talked up as one of the best players for the 2010 Draft, McGuire throws low-to-mid-90s heat with three quality offspeed pitches, outstanding command and an imposing frame (6-6). McGuire was recognized as this season's Atlantic Coast Conference Pitcher of the Year ahead of several other very strong pitchers in the league, which is a credit to his success.
