Daniel Susac Selected By A's
2 years agoThe Oakland Athletics selected Arizona catcher Daniel Susac with the 19th overall pick in the 2022 MLB draft on Sunday. Susac had two excellent seasons in college and has the ability to drive the ball to all fields with a chance for at least above-average power at a weak-hitting position. He's a former high school quarterback and is athletic for his size (6-foot-4, 218 pounds), and should be able to stick behind the plate and follow in his brother Andrew Susac's footsteps. The 21-year-old hit .366/.430/.582 with 12 home runs in 64 games at Arizona last year in a hitter-friendly home environment, and he'll need to get better at laying off pitches outside the strike zone if he wants to have success at the next level.
