One of McBride's best games of the season came on May 30 when he went 4-for-6 with five RBIs.
As a Mountain Hawk, McBride led Lehigh to its first-ever Patriot League Championship and NCAA Tournament berth in 2006. He won the league's Triple Crown (.417-12-61) and set a then-league record with 88 hits, which now ranks second all-time. After his breakout junior campaign, he was named an ABCA All-American, Louisville Slugger All-American and College Baseball Foundation All-American.
This past spring, the slugger received a non-roster invite to the Colorado Rockies Spring Training Camp, his first-career invite to a big league camp.
