Brandon McCarthy was born on Thursday, July 7, 1983, in Glendale, California. McCarthy was 21 years old when he broke into the big leagues on May 22, 2005, with the Chicago White Sox. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Brandon McCarthy baseball stats page.
"McCarthy's filthy stuff, on the other hand, was no laughing matter. 'He's not trying to strike you out,' says (Torii) Hunter, who had long dominated the lanky pitcher - until last season. 'He's trying to get a ground ball. He's keeping guys off balance, and he's hitting his spots. He's learned how to pitch.'" - Sportswriter Eddie Matz in ESPN: The Magazine (03/05/2012, 'Saviormetrics', Page 38)
