McCabe had a fine debut in 2022 with Augusta (99 wRC+), and went into the offseason as one of the system’s top position player prospects. After a 16-homer season in 2022, McCabe was drafted by the Braves, and was the final signing to wrap up Atlanta’s 2022 draft haul.
Hailing from Oshawa, Ontario, McCabe spent three seasons as a power-hitting infielder for UNC Charlotte.
The Braves drafted McCabe with their fourth round pick, 125th overall, in the 2022 MLB Draft. David McCabe may not have had the best start to his first full professional season, but he ended it on an extended tear and has pushed himself towards a chance in the upper minors next season.
