We did not know it until just after the NLDS wrapped up, but Brian McCann’s 15th season in the big leagues would be his final one. After debuting with the Baby Braves in 2005, McCann would spend 10 years in Atlanta, appearing in 1,190 games and racking up nearly 4,700 plate appearances.
McCann will go down as one of the game’s best catchers of all-time with a career fWAR of 54.5, the 10th best mark ever. FanGraphs had a great writeup on his career and presented an interesting case for his Hall of Fame candidacy.
