Former Barnegat High School pitcher Mark McCoy is wrapping up his second year in the Kansas City Royals minor league system.

The Royals selected McCoy in the 29th round of last June’s amateur draft following his junior year at Rutgers University. The lefty relieverbegan this season with the Class A Wilmington (Delaware) Blue Sox, but struggled there and was moved to another Class A team in Lexington, Ky.
