Kevin McReynolds

The quiet man — a perfect description of Kevin McReynolds. He played with some of the most vocal players in the game during his career and yet rarely made the news like many of his teammates. McReynolds maintained his easygoing, quiet demeanor throughout his playing days, letting his bat and glove do the talking for him.

Walter Kevin McReynolds was born on October 16, 1959 in Little Rock, Arkansas. Raymond, McReynolds’s father, served in the U.S. Army as a mechanic. Walter and his family lived on Camp Robinson, an Arkansas National Guard base, when he was growing up. McReynolds’s mother Kathryn stayed at home to take care of her four children, three sons and a daughter. Her son always speaks fondly and proudly of the upbringing that he received from his parents. He grew up in meagre circumstances. He described his parents’ house as “modest, almost shack-like. It wasn’t much. There was a little kitchen and a little living room and a little hall and a bathroom and three small bedrooms. It wasn’t very big at all, but it was very comfortable.”1

Kevin McReynolds (1959–)

Kevin McReynolds, who grew up in Sherwood (Pulaski County), became a collegiate all-star baseball player at the University of Arkansas (UA) in Fayetteville (Washington County) in the 1970s and spent twelve high-achieving seasons in the major leagues. In a career spent mostly with the San Diego Padres and New York Mets in the National League, but also two years with the Kansas City Royals in the American League, McReynolds was a solid hitter but especially excelled as a defensive outfielder and as a canny base runner. For a few years, he held the major-league record for bases stolen in a season without a putout.

Walter Kevin McReynolds was born on October 16, 1959, in Little Rock (Pulaski County), the son of Raymond McReynolds and Kathryn Bryant McReynolds. Along with a sister and two brothers, he was reared in Sherwood, a suburban community on the eastern perimeter of North Little Rock (Pulaski County), and attended Sylvan Hills schools.

As a senior in 1978, he led Sylvan Hills High School to the Class AAA state baseball championship by hitting .638, in
