I'm quite sure the MLB has never drafted a 5'9" pitcher.

If he's a lefty that can throw in the 90s then they might start.

They have a kid in the majors right now who is somewhere around 5' 5" who pitches. If he can really consistently hit high 80s - mid 90s and is a solid lefty... He is going to get a ton of looks. The MLB just loves those solid lefties. If he has some nice breaking balls... he is just adding fuel to the fire. I don't think this will be as intense as the Zach Lee ordeal, but he will get a ton of looks.

He would be an excellent pickup for Mainieri if he can get him to play. We need another left handed pitched badly.

Magee does pitch but MLB clubs have interest in him as an outfielder. He was impressive at the East Coast Professional Showcase in Lakeland, FL this summer and has a chance to go in the top 5 rounds.

As for 5'9" pitchers, the Cubs took one in the first round (16th overall pick) last summer, in Hayden Simpson from D-II Southern Arkansas.
