Major League Baseball’s Bay Area teams love them some Susac brothers.
Standout Arizona catcher Daniel Susac was taken by the Oakland Athletics in the first round of the MLB Draft on Sunday, going 19th overall. His selection comes 11 years after older brother Andrew Susac went in the second round to the San Francisco Giants.
Susac, whose hometown of Roseville, Calif. is about 100 miles from Oakland, is the first UA player to be drafted by the A’s since first baseman Alfonso Rivas went to them in the fourth round in 2018.
