For Nolan McLean, 2026 is shaping up to be a defining year-not just in his journey in baseball, but also in his personal life. As he continues his climb within the New York Mets organization and the United States national baseball team, a key development answered one of the most searched questions about him.
Nolan McLean is married – who is his wife?
Nolan McLean is married to Avery Frechette, his longtime partner.
They started dating when Mclean was a senior at Garner Magnet High School. Avery is an alumnus of East Carolina University, majoring in communications (international/organizational). She studied there from August 2021 to December 2024.
In college, McLean’s wife worked part-time as a childcare specialist at St. James United Methodist Church in Greenville, North Carolina. She also worked part-time as an assistant preschool teacher at Aversboro Road Baptist Church.
The couple officially got married on January 16, 2026, in a ceremony that, while not heavily covered by mainstream media, was confirmed through social media posts and secondary reports that quickly circulated among baseball circles.

One of the most notable aspects of McLean’s marriage is that his relationship with Avery Frechette did not begin after fame.
However, the timing is notable. McLean’s wedding came during a pivotal stretch in his career, shortly after:
- His MLB debut in 2025
- Establishing himself as a promising young starter
- Gaining recognition within the Mets’ future rotation plans
