Campusano is quietly raking
Luis Campusano
Catcher · Bats Right · Augusta, GA
The Padres catcher is off to the best start of his career — hot bat, hot bat, hot bat. Through 10 games he's slashing .310/.333/.552 with a .885 OPS and a 8-game hit streak. The kind of start that turns a platoon backstop into an everyday lineup fixture.

The story
From platoon piece to everyday catcher.
Campusano came up through the system with a loud bat and the usual young-catcher question mark: could the defense catch up to the power? In 2026 the answer is showing up on both sides of the ball — he's squaring up fastballs, staying patient when pitchers go soft, and giving the Friars' staff real value behind the plate.
That .885 OPS is legit. In today's run environment an OPS near .900 out of the catcher spot is a top-tier number. If he holds anywhere close to this, the lineup gets a full run deeper.
