This super utility prospect can play every infield position — including catcher!

St. Louis Cardinals prospect Cade McGee has developed into a versatile utility player capable of playing every infield position, including catcher. After joking about catching during 2026 Spring Training, the 23-year-old went on to catch 24 games with High-A Peoria while also making appearances at first, second, and third base before earning a promotion to Double-A Springfield in September.

McGee is currently participating in the Arizona Fall League, where farm director Larry Day instructed him to focus specifically on second and third base for the month. The Cardinals organization views defensive versatility as a key developmental priority to help prospects reach the Major League roster.
