After a disappointing debut season in pinstripes, McCann is finally becoming the elite offensive and defensive catcher we all expected him to be.
After a solid but unremarkable debut season, some Yankee fans were left wondering if perhaps the team had made a mistake signing catcher Brian McCann to a five-year, $85 million deal in November of 2013. Sure, his glove and pitch framing skills were still some of the best in the game, but the Yankees didn't pay such a high price for just a good defender who knew how to manage a pitching staff.
