Buddy McClain  
Center Fielder | Grand Rapids Red Dogs

Hitting
One of McClain's strongest assets is his performance with men in scoring position. Buddy McClainis Mr. Clutch. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. You can expect Buddy McClain to pull the ball.

Baserunning & Defense
McClain isn't a fluid center fielder, but he's not afraid to get dirty and gets the job done. His arm is accurate enough. McClain's speed is now average at best and he steals only infrequently.
