Same link as above to current stats, he's now 5-1 with a 2.81 ERA. Still just has one start, and doesn't have any saves. Good to see him having success though. Team is in first place too.

Here are Zach McAllister's present stats....

GCL Yankees at 1.5 games out of first place, and Zach
is 5-2, with 3.09 ERA, in 11 games (started one),
35 innings pitched, given up 35 hits, 14 runs, 12 earned runs,
2 HRs, 26 K's, 6 BB (nice control!).

I am happy Zach is doing well!

[LTHS02]

Any chance of ZMac getting a call-up?

[squeaky]

That won't happen this year. I have never heard of a callup from class A ball, or of a 1st year player out of high school.

Recap of Zach McAllister's season with the Yankee's rookie squad:

http://www.minorleaguebaseball.com/app/news/article.jsp?ymd=20061107&content_id=142758&vkey=news_milb&fext=.jsp

The GCL (Gulf Coast League) Yankees went 31-20 (.60

"Zach McAllister, RHP
McAllister finished second in the Gulf Coast League with five wins in 11 appearances (one start), posting a 3.09 ERA over 35 innings. He fanned 28 and, after a rocky beginning, really began to settle in and posted a 1.75 ERA over his final nine appearances. The Illinois high school star had committed to Nebraska but opted to sign, and the Yanks couldn't be happier. At 6-foot-5 and 230 pounds, he cuts an imposing figure on the mound and should be one of the more interesting players to follow next year in New York's system"
