James McCann joined the Diamondbacks as a veteran presence while catcher Gabriel Moreno recovers from injury. In his first two games, he displayed strong offensive performance, highlighted by a .500 batting average. McCann is focusing on building rapport with the pitching team, acknowledging that adapting to their styles is challenging. His experience in the MLB, including an All-Star season, positions him as a reliable backup. Following his previous tenures, he quickly took initiative to integrate with his new team.
"As a catcher, you've still got to make the throw. The toughest part as a catcher is learning the pitchers and what their pitches' shapes are."
"I would say that's probably the hardest adjustment. Hitting and throwing, the base doesn't move, the ball's still got to come over the plate."
