Orioles prospect season in review: Ryan McKenna

Ryan McKenna was drafted by the Orioles out of St. Thomas Aquinas high school in Dover, New Hampshire in the fourth round (133rd overall pick) of the 2015 MLB Draft. He was only 18 years old at the time, making him a tad over 21 right now. The right-handed hitting, right-handed throwing outfielder checks in at 5 feet 11 inches, 185 pounds.

He is currently ranked as the Orioles’ 13th best prospect, according to MLB Pipeline, who also lists McKenna’s throwing, running and hitting ability as his top three tools. He’s spent the vast majority of his professional career patrolling center field, with a handful of appearances this past season in left.
