An athletic outfielder that keeps putting on strength, the broad shouldered McClendon put on a show at the Swat scout day. Offensively, the right-hander hitter posses plenty of thump and is swing and missing less and less as he polishes his game. In the outfield, he has a chance to stick in center with 6.79 speed.
