Hits/Throws: L/R
Acquired: 2019 Round 4
RuleV: 2022
Physical Description: Listed at 6'2, 217. Physically maxed out; strong and muscular but very stiff.
Hit: Slightly open stance, hands set up low and away from body. Above-average bat speed with pull-first approach. Some swing length and very poor bat control lead to a lot of swing-and-miss, even on hittable pitches within the strike zone. Really struggles to handle breaking stuff, especially against left-handed pitching. Average plate discipline. Grade: 30
Power: Above-average raw power. Has the pull-oriented uphill bat path to get to some of that in games but also swings through too many pitches he should drive. Grade: 50
Field: Doesn't move well laterally behind the plate. Slow hands as a receiver likely to lead to below-average pitch framing. Grade: 40
Arm: Showed plus arm strength with carry to second base but inconsistent throwing accuracy as an amateur. Grade: 55
Run: Well below-average athlete and runner. Grade: 30
Overall: McCann's a 'three true outcomes' player whose limitations on both sides of the ball probably limit him to a role as a third catcher. He's strong, with enough raw power and selectiveness to draw some walks and hit a few home runs but his hefty strikeout totals limit his offensive ceiling. McCann's a below-average receiver, although the potential implementation of an electronic strike zone could help him stick behind the plate. He'll need to do so, because he's not a good enough hitter to play first base regularly.
