Matthew Hagerty McBride (born May 23, 1985) is an American professional baseball catcher in the Oakland Athletics organization.
He made his Major League Baseball (MLB) debut with the Colorado Rockies in 2012, with whom he played right field and first base. In his major league career through 2016, he has played the outfield in 22 games, first base in 18 games, and catcher in 16 games, and had a career batting line of .201/.228/.299.
McBride attended Liberty High School in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and was drafted by the Cleveland Indians in the second round (75th overall) of the 2006 amateur draft out of Lehigh University. Although he was drafted as a catcher, he has also spent considerable time at first base and in the outfield.
He made his professional debut playing for the Class A-Short Season Mahoning Valley Scrappers of the New York–Penn League in 2006. By 2011, he had made his way to Triple-A with the International League's Columbus Clippers.
In July 2011, he was traded from Cleveland to the Colorado Rockies with Drew Pomeranz, Alex White, and Joe Gardner for Ubaldo Jiménez. With the Rockies, he was assigned to the Triple-A Colorado Springs Sky Sox.
