Nolan MacCabe

Nolan MacCabe is an outfielder for the Chili Peppers, and his story is about sticking with it. On the Cosmic Confessions podcast he talks about what first drew him to baseball and why he kept going even after being cut again and again growing up. The breakout came in college, and he joined Cosmic Baseball soon after his final collegiate season.

He credits Cosmic Peppers head coach Dustin Felvus as a mentor who believed in him when few others did.

Online, Nolan is easy to find at @nolanmaccabe9. His Instagram showed about 13 thousand followers and 128 posts in early November 2026, and the bio tags the Chili Peppers and Averett baseball. Public highlight reels on the profile are labeled with things like SOTD, Apex and Brands. On TikTok, same handle, he had about 1,600 followers and describes himself as a Cosmic Chili Pepper.

A caution on what we saw: Instagram and TikTok hid individual captions and video text behind a login wall, so we can describe how he sets up his profile, but not what any particular post says. We found no YouTube channel for him.

For fans, the simplest way to cheer him on is to follow @nolanmaccabe9 on Instagram or TikTok, give the podcast episode a listen for the full never-gave-up story, and watch the official Chili Peppers channels for tour dates.
