Red Sox Sign (Australian) Daniel McGrath

Later that year [2010], McGrath made history when at just sixteen, he was named to the Melbourne Aces roster mid-way through the inaugural Australian Baseball League.

In his League debut in late December, McGrath was called on to close out the game and he proceeded to retire six of the seven hitters that he faced in an impressive outing. He still holds the record for the youngest player to have played in the newly formed ABL.

Most recently, McGrath returned just this week from representing Australia in the recent Oceania AAA Championships held in Guam where Australia won gold and secured their berth in the 2012 IBAF U18 World Championships.

McGrath was superb in his two outings, striking out nine over five innings in the gold medal game against New Zealand, while collecting eight strikouts across four innings in game one versus Guam.

But can he throw a gyroball? No? How about a Geelongball? Whatever, sign him up!
