OAKLAND — Giants prospect Steven Duggar made a ridiculous catch at the Coliseum on Sunday, racing to the 400-foot sign in center field to make a leaping grab that robbed Matt Joyce of a home run.
It’s the type of play that Triple-A Manager Dave Brundage saw up close last season in Sacramento, which is why Brundage put in a good word for Duggar as the 24-year-old outfielder tries to crack the Giants’ Opening Day roster.
“There’s a lot to like about Steven Duggar. I spoke my mind and gave them my opinion on him to our big league staff and to the higher-ups in the front office,” Brundage said Saturday night, while the Giants were in town to play Sacramento at Raley Field.
