Mackenzie Rooney is Wichita State’s little lefty spark plug with clutch pop
In the 2026 season, freshman outfielder Mackenzie Rooney gave Wichita State a legit bottom-of-the-order weapon, flashing speed, contact skills, and sneaky home-run pop, including a walk-off two-run homer against Florida Atlantic and a season-high four RBIs vs. Memphis.[1][3][5] At 5-foot-3 and left-handed, she brings a disruptive, high-energy profile that can change innings with her legs and punish mistakes when pitchers challenge her.[6]
