Scott Robert McGregor (born December 19, 1986) is an American baseball starting pitcher who is a minor league free agent. Though he has yet to reach the major leagues, he has played at Triple-A—the level directly below the majors—each year since 2015, he appeared in major league spring training.[1] He most recently played with the Triple-A Syracuse Chiefs.
He was born in Cincinnati and attended Lakota East High School in Liberty Township, Ohio. He went to the University of Memphis following high school, where he posted a won-loss record of 13-15 in three years there.
McGregor was taken in the 15th round of the 2008 Major League Baseball draft, a couple picks after outfielder Joey Butler, by the St. Louis Cardinals. He was 4-0 with a 1.45 ERA and five walks allowed in 37.1 innings his first professional season and followed that with a 7-11 record and a 5.56 ERA in 34 games (17 starts) for the Quad Cities River Bandits in 2009. In 115 innings, he allowed 26 walks and had the eighth-best BB/9 IP ratio in the Midwest League among pitchers with 100 or more innings pitched.[2] In 2010, he was 10-8 with a 3.14 ERA in 31 games (20 starts) split between two teams; in 137.2 innings, he allowed 22 walks. Baseball America ranked him as having the best control in the Cardinals system. After missing 2011 to Tommy John surgery, McGregor returned in 2012 to go 5-2 with a 6.31 ERA in 14 games (13 starts). He reached Triple-A for the first time in 2013, going 6-10 with a 4.83 ERA in 18 games (17 starts) for the Memphis Redbirds; He also pitched for the Springfield Cardinals that year and went 10-11 with a 4.06 ERA as a whole. He began 2014 with Memphis, but was released in June.[3] The Nationals signed him and he played for their Double-A team, the Harrisburg Senators, and their Triple-A club, the Chiefs. Between the three teams, McGregor was 4-9 with a 5.56 ERA. In 2015, he was 6-6 with a 4.04 ERA in 27 games (15 starts) for Syracuse.[4] McGregor was released on March 16, 2016.
