Brian McRae Biography

Brian McRae is a retired MLB outfielder who played nine seasons in the league with five different teams. A high school standout, McRae announced his intentions to play baseball and football at the University of Kansas, but he was selected in the first round of the 1985 MLB Draft by the Kansas City Royals, McRae chose to sign with the Royals instead of attending college, and he immediately reported to their minor league affiliates. McRae struggled in the minors, barely reaching the AA team in his fourth season, eventually making his MLB debut five seasons after being drafted in a game in August of 1990, performing well enough to earn the starting job for the rest of the season. For the next four years, McRae would play for Kansas City. In 1995, McRae was traded to the Chicago Cubs, but his sinking numbers led to him being traded in 1997 to the New York Mets. After stops with the Colorado Rockies and the Toronto Blue Jays, McRae decided to retire, ending his career with a .261 batting average and 103 home runs.
