West Liberty Hilltopper signs with the Majors

The London Majors are pleased to announce the signing of first baseman Kayne McGee.

A product of West Liberty University (NCAA D2) has been the Hilltoppers second best hitter so far this young season.  As of March 1st after 8 games, Kayne has a 0.381 batting average, 2 doubles and 3 rbi.  Last year the Almonte Ontario native had 24 RBIs in 45 games which was second on his team, trailing the team leader at 28. McGee has also played for the Great Bend Bat Cats (Great Bend Kansas) and Jamestown Tarp Skunk (Jamestown NY) at the summer collegiate league level in the USA.

Another new addition to the Majors infield, fans will be excited to see come opening day, we asked the Hilltoppers infielder what Majors fans can expect from him when they see him in the lineup and patrolling 1st base “The fans can expect from me is a left-handed power bat that likes to work the gaps, looking to make an impact every time I’m up at the plate. (I’m)Excited to be playing in front of the best fans in the IBL and bringing home another championship come opening day!”

With the first baseman joining the Majors, Roop Chanderdat was asked about the new infielder “Kayne is a left-handed power hitter that likes to go gap to gap.  He is another hard-working young player that wants to get better."

The London Majors are a member of Canada’s top baseball league, the Intercounty Baseball League. In 2021 the London Majors won the IBL Jack & Lynn Dominico Trophy. The 100-year old summer league is one of the oldest baseball leagues in the world.
