Career
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.
On August 4, 2012, made his major league debut with the Rockies. In four at bats, he recorded two hits (including a double), one RBI, and a run scored. He mostly split the 2013 to 2015 seasons between Triple-A and the Rockies.
He was granted free agency after the 2015 season, and signed a minor league contract with the Oakland Athletics. He was assigned to the Nashville Sounds (Triple-A), where he began the 2016 season. The Athletics called him up to the major league team on April 27, and for the season he batted .209/.227/.279 as he caught 11% (1 of 9) of attempted base-stealers. He was sent outright to Triple-A after the 2016 season, and elected to become a free agent.
