Cade McGee Named FSL Player of the Week

JUPITER, FL - Palm Beach infielder Cade McGee has been named the Florida State League Player of the Week for the week of April 4-April 6 after securing the game winning runs against the Fort Myers Mighty Mussels.

The 22-year-old product of Texas Tech baseball started all three games of Opening Weekend, slashing .364/.462/1.000. McGee was responsible for 4 runs, 3 RBIs, and 2 homeruns, one of them being the game winning walk-off Cade delivered at the end of the series final on Sunday.

“I just wanted to secure that series win,” McGee said. “During that last at bat, I was just looking to get a pitch I could do damage with and ended up getting it.”

McGee joined the Palm Beach Cardinals last year after he was selected in the 9th round of the 2024 draft. He ended his season last year slashing .300/.417/.300 with 3 runs and 3 RBIs.

“I was super glad we were able to get that first series win to start the year,” McGee said. “ It’s a good way to start the season and I’m excited to play my first full season.”

McGee and the rest of the Cardinals will head to Bradenton for a six game series against the Bradenton Marauders. Their next home series will start at the Jackie Robinson Training Complex in Vero Beach, FL, to play in a Jackie Robinson Celebration Game with the Clearwater Threshers on April 15th. They will return the Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium to finish the series out on Wednesday, April 16th.
