Kenny McKechnie
11U Coach
Played locally at Christian Brothers High School and competed for the Division 1 title in '88. Played Post 61 for summer-ball. After CB went to AR for a year before transferring to Sac City. Was part of the 91 team that only lost 3 games all year. Unfortunately, 2 of the losses came in States. After City attended Sacramento State on a baseball scholarship. Completed my education with a degree in Communications.
I have coached many levels of baseball and softball from little league to high school and plenty of travel ball over my years. My main drive is to find a way for players to enjoy the game and learn to play it. I coach for the love of the game.
Married with 4 children all who are active in sports.
