It’s possible that no other Oriole was bounced between Norfolk and Baltimore more often this season than Ryan McKenna. The outfielder was the first player that the team called up from the alternate site back in April, and he went on to be optioned and recalled nine times in total throughout the summer.
Just a glance at his stat line makes it obvious why McKenna was given the yo-yo treatment all year long.
In the 27 games he spent at Triple-A, the versatile outfielder was a monster at the plate, slugging .683 with 11 home runs in just 123 plate appearances.
