Triston McKenzie has solidified his spot in the Cleveland Indians rotation

It was a tough start to the season for Cleveland Indians pitching prospect Triston McKenzie. A first round pick in the 2015 MLB Draft, McKenzie had long been considered one of the club’s top prospects. He was coming off a strong audition in 2020 and had high hopes for 2021. However, he saw a few bumps that had him sent down to Columbus.

It took some time for McKenzie to find his way, but the 23-year old starting pitcher, soon-to-be 24 on August 2, has found improvement in his craft.
