CLEVELAND, Ohio — Triston McKenzie is heading to the World Series this week and will serve as a social media correspondent for Major League Baseball during Games 2 and 3.
McKenzie will take over MLB’s social media accounts, interviewing players on the field and making appearances on MLB Network to give fans a behind the scenes look at what is going on in Houston and Philadelphia as the two clubs clash for baseball’s ultimate prize.
Fans can follow McKenzie’s exploits on Twitter @T_eazy24 and Instagram @triston.mckenzie and watch for his unique World Series content on @MLB.
McKenzie follows in the footsteps of Marlins second baseman Jazz Chisholm, who served as a social media correspondent for MLB during the 2021 World Series.
McKenzie, 25, enjoyed a breakout year for the Guardians, finishing among the top 10 in the American League in every major pitching category with a 2.96 ERA and 0.95 WHIP with 190 strikeouts and 44 walks in 191.1 innings. He was the only player this season to have multiple games with no walks and 13 strikeouts, and tied for the second-most strikeouts in a single game (14).
In September, McKenzie was named Cleveland’s 2022 Roberto Clemente Award nominee for his work with the True2U mentorship program.
