Reece
McKenzie

Compact frame at 5-foot-7, 145 pounds with an average build. Square, upright set-up at the plate with bend in lower half. Uses a low leg lift that shows continuous motion as he gets to landing. Hands stay near back shoulder with a subtle hand load that puts barrel at a better angle once his stride foot gets down. Fluid, compact swing with a feel for contact. Everything works together in the box and looks very ‘hitter-ish’. Defensively, uses short, active footwork that should keep him in the INF long-term. Flashed slight hop in his pre-pitch approach. Loose hips allow him to stay low on ball while still keeping athletic posture in his upper half. Quick, natural actions with his hands on exchange and double play feeds.
