Roseville’s Daniel Susac blasts first MLB home run for Giants. How far did it go?

San Francisco Giants catcher Daniel Susac isn’t known for his power, and he has cooled off considerably after a torrid start with the team earlier this season.

But you wouldn’t know it if you watched the 25-year-old Roseville native launch a three-run blast Wednesday afternoon at Oracle Park — the first home run of his Major League career.

Susac’s second-inning homer gave the Giants a 3-0 lead, and it came in support of a fellow Placer County native: starting pitcher Logan Webb of Rocklin.

Susac is known more as a contact hitter than a home run threat, but he did hit three home runs for the Triple-A Sacramento River Cats in eight games earlier this season before getting promoted. His homer Wednesday went 411 feet and came off the bat around 103 mph, according to MLB’s Statcast.

A product of Jesuit High School in Carmichael, Susac joined the Giants last offseason and made his MLB debut April 1. A day later, he made his first MLB start at Oracle Park. He went 3-for-3 with a walk against the Mets, which gained viral attention after the TV broadcast showed his young nephew Chuck kicking, screaming and crying in family members’ arms as they celebrated.

The Susac family’s baseball ties run deep in California’s capital region. His older brother Andrew also hit his first big-league home run for the Giants, in 2014, and his cousin Anthony, who was born in Sacramento, is in the Texas Rangers minor-league system.

That made it a family affair when the Giants visited the Athletics in West Sacramento in May. Ahead of that series, Daniel Susac recalled “going to River Cats game for birthday parties” as a child at the ballpark now known as Sutter Health Park, the temporary home of the A’s after they left Oakland in 2024.

Susac missed 16 games with a lower back strain before returning to the Giants in mid-July. He’s batting .254, and his homer gave him his 18th RBI on the season.
