Daniel Susac could become the San Francisco Giants' starting catcher in 2027 after an encouraging rookie season. The 25-year-old impressed defensively before a fractured left kneecap ended his campaign in August.
In 53 games, Susac hit .243 with three home runs and 22 RBI. Defensively, he recorded eight Fielding Run Value, threw out 32% of attempted base stealers and ranked in the 88th percentile in pitch framing.
Susac is expected to be ready for 2027, potentially giving San Francisco its long-term answer behind the plate. His offensive development and recovery will be key as he looks to secure the starting role.
