The Seattle Orcas have announced the signing of West Indies left-arm pacer Obed McCoy ahead of the 2025 Major League Cricket (MLC) season, boosting their pace options for the upcoming campaign.
McCoy, 28, brings a wealth of global T20 experience to the Orcas, having played 143 T20 matches and taken an impressive 177 wickets across various top-tier franchise leagues. His previous stints include the Indian Premier League (Rajasthan Royals), International League T20 (Dubai Capitals), Bangladesh Premier League, and Pakistan Super League.
Proven international performer joins Orcas attack
On the international front, McCoy has represented the West Indies in 42 T20 Internationals, collecting 52 wickets. His standout moment came against India, where he delivered a match-winning spell of 6 for 17—one of the best bowling performances in West Indies T20I history.
The Seattle Orcas, entering MLC Season 3 with high ambitions, will rely on McCoy’s death-over precision and variations to add bite to their bowling lineup. His ability to execute under pressure is expected to be a critical asset as the team targets postseason success.
