Career

Brian McCann was selected by the Atlanta Braves in the 2nd Round of the 2002 June free agent baseball draft.

McCann made his major league debut with the Atlanta Braves on June 10, 2005. McCann, a personal catcher for John Smoltz for most of the 2005 season, hit his first home run in just his second regular-season game, and became the first Braves player in franchise history to hit a home run in his first playoff at-bat on October 6, 2005, accomplishing the feat in the second inning of a 7-1 victory over Roger Clemens and the Houston Astros in Game 2 of the 2005 NLDS Series.

With fellow catcher Johnny Estrada being traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks, McCann will be the Braves' starting catcher in 2006.

Personal Life

Brian grew up as a Braves fan. He particularly remembers rooting his team on in the 1991 World Series.

He lives with teammate Jeff Francoeur.
