The Oakland A’s selected catcher Daniel Susac from the University of Arizona with the 19th overall selection Sunday in the MLB first-year player draft.
This is the second time in three years the A’s have drafted a catcher — and a Northern California native — in the first round, as they took Turlock’s Tyler Soderstrom 26th overall in 2020. Some early-round selections like Matt Olson and Matt Chapman were home runs, but others like Addison Russell , Daniel Robertson , Billy McKinney and Kevin Merrell were traded in years when the A’s were in a win-now mode.
Along with their selection at No. 19, the A’s have two other picks Sunday, a second-rounder at No. 56 overall, and a Competitive Balance Round B pick at 69th overall.
