2024 Fantasy Outlook

McKenna's 2023 campaign got off to a rotten beginning. In his first start on April 1 versus the Red Sox, he dropped a routine flyball which would've been the final out of the game and then watched the next batter hit a walk-off homer. It would be dramatic to say the 27-year-old's season never got better, but McKenna spent much of the year being shuttled back-and-forth between Triple-A Norfolk and the majors and posted just a .677 OPS with a 28.8 percent strikeout rate during his time with the big club. McKenna's best shot at playing time is in a short-side platoon role, and with a career .221/.288/.333 line versus left-handed pitching, it's difficult to have any confidence he'd be successful with that gig.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2023

2021

2020

McKenna has at least stuck around as a bench bat for the Orioles the last two years, but there's not much to like from a fantasy angle. He's hit just four home runs and stolen three bases in 195 career games, logging a mere 369 plate appearances. His slash line in that span is .209/.293/.302, and there's little reason to think he'll have a major breakout without claiming more playing time. A natural center fielder, McKenna is blocked at that position by Cedric Mullins, while a mix of Austin Hays, Anthony Santander and Kyle Stowers figure to be the preferred corner outfielders for Baltimore in 2023. McKenna has decent speed, but he's simply not utilized enough to challenge for the 15-20 steals that could make him a specialist in fantasy.

This player will receive an outlook for the 2021 fantasy baseball season.

The Double-A wall is real. McKenna has run into that wall since advancing past High-A and his stock has taken a hit as a result. After a blistering run in the Carolina League, McKenna moved up to Bowie in July of 2018. He was not great but at least was able to tread water in his first crack against Double-A arms. McKenna returned to Bowie to begin 2019 and ended up spending the entire year there, and while he was more active on the basepaths and slightly above league average by wRC+ when it was all said and done, he slugged just .365 with a 21.3 K% at that level as a 22-year-old. The batted-ball numbers, namely a 24.2 Hard%, do not portend more power to come. He needs to stick in center field as his bat will not play in the outfield corners. Speed is the only thing keeping him around as a blip on the radar in dynasty formats.
