Scouting Report: Kade McClure
Chicago Cubs | SP
Overall
Summary
Kade Anderson is a 21-year-old left-handed pitching prospect for the Seattle Mariners, selected 3rd overall in the 2025 MLB Draft. After an exceptional college career at LSU (12-1, 3.18 ERA, 180 strikeouts in 2025), Anderson has dominated Double-A competition with a 0.37 ERA over 24.1 innings in five starts, striking out 38 batters with only 4 walks and 1 earned run allowed. He possesses four plus pitches: mid-90s fastball, wipeout slider, mid-80s changeup, and sharp curve. Named Mariners Minor League Pitcher of the Month.
