Called Shots →Zach Morgan appears in a major league game for the San Francisco Giants on or before September 27, 2026.
From August 12 to the end of the 2026 regular season, Drew Cavanaugh starts more games at catcher for the Giants than every other Giants catcher combined.
Written about him
Zach Morgan Reached The Major Leagues On Monday Without Reaching The Batter's Box
Zach Morgan was a major league catcher for one game and did not catch it. The Giants called him up August 10 after Susac fractured his patella, sat him behind Drew Cavanaugh, signed 31-year-old Andrew Knizner off the free agent market the next day, and sent Morgan back to Triple-A. The league's own player record lists no debut date for him. There is a word for what he nearly became, and more than 400 men in baseball history have earned it.
The Giants Gave Up Joe Morgan For Mike Krukow And Got Forty-Four Seasons
San Francisco traded Joe Morgan and Al Holland to Philadelphia on December 14, 1982, and one of the three players who came back was Mike Krukow. He has been in a Giants uniform or a Giants booth every season since. The record of what he watched, counted, and the part of the partnership that does not end.
