Brendan Burke is giving San Francisco a real spark behind the plate
In the 2026 season, Burke has been one of San Francisco’s most productive bats, entering mid-March as the team’s leading hitter at .296 with two doubles, one home run and seven RBI, then flashing more pop with a three-run homer and a career-high three RBI in a late-March game. He looks like a catcher who can impact games with timely contact, sneaky power and enough athleticism to add value on the bases. For a team, that means a gritty, offense-first backstop with upside—especially if you want a catcher who can pressure pitchers and keep the lineup moving.
