"McCann, 28, got to make his major league debut with the Athletics in 2024. He got into 54 games and stepped to the plate 157 times. He hit five home runs and drew walks at a solid 10.2% clip but also struck out in 37.6% of those plate appearances. His .236/.318/.371 batting line was just above league average, translating to a 102 wRC+, but was buoyed by a .368 batting average on balls in play."
"In May, he signed with los Piratas de Campeche in the Mexican League. He got into 32 games for that club and stepped to the plate 140 times. He hit eight home runs with an 18.8% walk rate and 30.7% strikeout rate. The Mexican League is very hitter-friendly, with the league-wide slash line being .295/.378/.465 in 2025, but McCann's .319/.450/.611 line was still strong even in that inflated environment."
"The Rockies don't have a ton of depth behind the plate. Hunter Goodman and Braxton Fulford are currently the only backstops on the 40-man roster. Goodman just had a breakout season in 2025 but Fulford has just 120 big league plate appearances with a .213/.267/.324 line in those. Brett Sullivan has been brought aboard via a minor league deal but he has just a .204/.250/.291 line in his 112 big league plate appearances."
Kyle McCann agreed to a minor league deal with the Colorado Rockies and received an invite to big-league spring training. McCann debuted with the Oakland Athletics in 2024, appearing in 54 games with a .236/.318/.371 batting line, five home runs, a 10.2% walk rate and a 37.6% strikeout rate, translating to a 102 wRC+ that was aided by a .368 BABIP. His minor-league profile shows some power and walk ability but high strikeout rates, while defensive metrics flagged framing as a weakness. He played in the Mexican League in 2025 and produced strong counting stats, and he adds experienced non-roster catching depth for the Rockies.
