Posted September 5, 200519 yr Other than Hermida Im starting to think that Brad McCann is our top hitting prospect. What a season he had! It'll be interesting to see what he does next year. Wouldn't it be great to see him in a Marlin jersey vs. his bro in a Brave jersey for years to come? His stats this year... (.295, 28 HR, 106 RBI) 35 doubles!
September 5, 200519 yr that was in single A or double A? Also was it a hitter's friendly league or pitchers friendly league? Either way it is nice stats.
September 5, 200519 yr Found some good info on him coming out of college - ame: Brad McCann Height/Weight: 6-3 / 200 Bats/Throws: R / R Date of Birth: 12/9/82 School: Clemson Brewerfan.net Rank: #32 College, #61 overall #39 college prospect according to Baseball America. #35 college prospect by TeamOneBaseball. 2nd-team preseason All-American and the #26 prospect on the Cape last summer by BA. The older brother of Braves' catching prospect Brian McCann, Brad transferred to Clemson from Gulf Coast Community College after his freshman year. He projects as a good all around 3B, although he doesn't have any one tool that stands out. He did hit .283 last summer on the Cape using a wood bat, as many believe his swing & overall swing mechanics will translate well to professional baseball using a wood bat full-time. He doesn't have too much over the fence power, but he does spray line drives to all fields. Defensively he has a good arm, has decent footwork and soft enough hands to stay at 3B. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sounds good, I'd like to see an updated scouting report though.
September 6, 200519 yr Heard a rumor that McCann was sent to AA Carolina to help them inthe playoffs. Havent seen it anywhere though
