Army’s emerging left-side bat with clutch extra-base pop
In the 2026 season, John McKillop gave Army a useful first-base/DH option, hitting .274 with an .822 OPS and two home runs in 29 games while showing timely power, including a six-RBI game and his first two career homers against Wagner. His calling card is a compact, productive left-handed bat that can handle pinch-hit duty and start against quality pitching, plus enough versatility to move between first base and DH. He looks like a fit for teams that value competitive at-bats, role flexibility, and upside rather than just raw tools.[1]
