In her freshman debut for the Rebels, Mackay appeared in 35 games with 27 starts as a catcher. She caught six runners stealing on the basepath and registered a .987 fielding percentage with only two errors.
Mackay’s versatility to play anywhere on the diamond will be a huge advantage for the Gamecocks.
