To optimize McCann's time on the field in 2016, the Yankees will need to give regular playing time to one of their untested backup catchers.
Brian McCann became an everyday player at the age of 22 in 2006, and since then has caught 1,223 Major League baseball games according to Baseball Reference. Over that time span only Yadier Molina (1,271 games caught) and Russell Martin (1,238) have appeared behind the plate more often.
McCann will play the 2016 season as a 32-year-old, and will do so coming off a season in which he participated in 135 games, and 126 as the Yankees catcher.
