Former Arizona Catcher Daniel Susac’s Flawless MLB Debut Sparks Buzz—Could He Be Baseball’s Next Big Star?

Former Arizona Catcher Daniel Susac’s Flawless MLB Debut Sparks Buzz—Could He Be Baseball’s Next Big Star?

Per OPTA Stats, Susac is the first catcher with three hits and a walk in his first MLB start since Mike Piazza in 1992.

Susac, who played for Arizona in 2021-22, was a 1st round pick of the Oakland (now Sacramento) Athletics in the 2022 MLB Draft. Blocked at the big league level by other prospects, Susac helped Las Vegas reach the Triple-A championship game last season and then was not added to the Athletics’ 40-man roster in the offseason.

That made him available for the Rule 5 Draft, which allows teams to pick up players from others’ farm systems who aren’t on the 40-man. Those drafted must remain on the MLB roster all season or be offered back to their original team.
