McKenzie went 12-6 with a 3.46 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 186 strikeouts over 25 starts (143 innings) during his first season at High-A Lynchburg.
The Tribe's top pitching prospect delivered on the hype, leading the Carolina League in wins and strikeouts. McKenzie notched at least eight punch outs in more than half of his starts, amassing a ridiculous 11.5 K/9. He'll almost certainly begin 2018 at Double-A Akron, with a strong possibility of making his MLB debut at some point next season.
