Craig McKechnie  
Left Fielder | Vancouver Orcas

Hitting
He hangs in well against lefthanders' breaking balls, and some of the pitchers he hits best are the southpaw specialists often brought in to face him. You can expect Craig McKechnie to pull the ball.

Baserunning & Defense
His arm and range are average, and he has a tendency to get lazy with his feet. McKechnie is an intelligent baserunner with average speed, but he's not a basestealing threat.
