The San Francisco Giants signed catcher Andrew Knizner to a minor league contract, who has already made an impact with Triple-A Sacramento by hitting successfully in his first three at-bats. Knizner, previously with the Nationals organization, exhibited a strong batting average of .382 in his time there, which led to his release when the team opted to retain their current catchers. Although his minor league performance has been promising, his major league stats raise concerns about his consistency at higher levels, supporting the notion of him as additional depth for the Giants.
Knizner's minor league success reflects his potential, but his struggle at the MLB level poses questions about his future role with the Giants.
He has already made his organizational debut, collecting hits in each of his first three at-bats with Triple-A Sacramento.
While Knizner obviously isn't going to keep up this pace, he's a productive minor league hitter.
Knizner joins Patrick Bailey and Logan Porter as non-roster depth at Triple-A, being the most productive of that trio.
