Rest-of-Season Projections
Impressive pop in Tuesday's loss
McCann went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run, a walk and two additional runs in a loss to the Rangers on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
The reserve backstop continues to parlay his occasional opportunities into standout offensive production, with Tuesday's impressive day pushing his average and OPS to .393 and 1.235, respectively, across 33 plate appearances. While the small-sample caveat certainly applies, it's difficult to dismiss how quickly McCann seems to have acclimated to big-league arms after displaying impressive bat skills at both the Double-A and Triple-A levels the last two seasons. Shea Langeliers remains the top backstop at the moment and certainly has the edge in terms of knowledge of the pitching staff, but given the expansive gulf in offensive performance between the two thus far, it's conceivable McCann could progressively carve out more consistent opportunities.

How does Kyle McCann compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could win backup catcher job
McCann is "probably the most improved player in our organization from last year to this year," Athletics manager Mark Kotsay on Wednesday told Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle.
ANALYSIS
McCann hasn't hit much in the minors to this point, but he improved his conditioning over the offseason and has impressed the coaching staff this spring. It could lead to him winning the backup catcher job behind Shea Langeliers as Manny Pina recovers from a wrist injury. Top prospect Tyler Soderstrom is also still in camp, but it seems unlikely the A's would keep him around without a full-time role.
