2012 Batter Profiles: M – R

Brian McCann

Debut: 2005 |  BirthDate: 2/20/1984 | Team: Braves | Position: C
Yr PA H HR SB RBI R AVG OBP SLG wOBA
’10 566 129 21 5 77 63 .269 .375 .453 .361
’11 527 126 24 3 71 51 .270 .351 .466 .348

Profile: McCann continued to be one of the best — and most consistent — catchers in fantasy baseball last season. His run and RBI totals were down slightly, but that was more a result of an injury and the poor performance of the other Braves hitters around him last season. Other than that, McCann churned out another .270/.351/.466 season — typical for him at this point. As McCann enters his peak seasons — he’ll turn 28 in February — he may begin to hit for more power. Only an injury prevented him from establishing a new career high in home runs last season. (Chris Cwik)

Quick Opinion: McCann remains one of the top options at one of fantasy baseball’s thinnest positions. Another season of 20+ home runs and a slash line similar to last season’s seems likely once again.
