Casey Michael McGehee (born October 12, 1982, in Santa Cruz, California) is a Major League baseball infielder for the Milwaukee Brewers.

Baseball career

McGehee was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the 10th round of the 2003 Major League Baseball Draft out of Fresno State.

McGehee was a September call-up for the Cubs in 2008, making his major league debut on September 2. He went 0 for 1 in his first game. Following the season, he was claimed off waivers by the Brewers, and added to the Brewers' 40-man roster. McGehee is the grandson of Scuffy McGehee, the last Major League pitcher to consistently use the floater pitch.

On March 31, 2009, it was announced that he would be a reserve infielder for the 2009 Milwaukee Brewers.

When Ryan Braun got injured, third baseman Bill Hall played at Braun's position in left field while McGehee started at third base. When Rickie Weeks got injured, he made his first start at second base. With Bill Hall struggling at the plate and Mat Gamel struggling on defense, he has seen a lot of time at third base. He hit his first home run on June 14, 2009 off of Mark Buehrle of the Chicago White Sox; it was one of his two RBI in the game. On June 29, 2009, he hit his first career Grand Slam off New York Mets pitcher Brian Stokes, which came after he committed an error that led to two unearned runs. On July 4, McGehee had career highs of four hits and five RBI against the Chicago Cubs.
