Player Outlook
Luis Campusano entered 2023 with 92 big-league plate appearances over the previous three years, but he finally received a decent stretch of playing time last season. He made the Opening Day roster as San Diego's backup catcher but went down with a thumb injury in mid-April and was sidelined until after the All-Star break. Gary Sanchez had settled in behind the plate for the Padres, but Campusano saw regular action the rest of the way before a sprained ankle kept him out for the final week of the campaign. The 25-year-old didn't provide much defensive value but excelled offensively with seven homers, 27 runs, 30 RBI and a .319/.356/.491 slash line in 174 plate appearances. Campusano hit similarly in the minors and doesn't have much else to prove at Triple-A, and he should be the favorite to open 2024 as the Friars' starting backstop. Even if that's the case, his outlook is likely to be limited by volume since he's played over 100 games in a season just once in his professional career. Additionally, he hasn't proved he can produce at the major-league level for even a half season, let alone a full one, so there's plenty of risk that comes with his massive upside.

    Campusano went 1-for-2 with a three-run homer in Sunday's 8-6 loss to the Phillies.

It was only his second home run of the year, but the 25-year-old is enjoying a productive first month of the season, slashing .290/.320/.430 with nine extra-base hits, 17 RBI, 13 runs and a 4:11 BB:K in 97 plate appearances as the Padres primary backstop.

  • Padres' Luis Campusano: Tear continues

    Campusano went 3-for-4 with a run scored and a run batted in during Tuesday's 5-2 loss to St. Louis. Campusano submitted his third three-hit game of the young campaign, pushing himself into an eight-way tie for the second most hits in MLB (12). The 25-year-old is well on his way to proving that his .319 average in 2023 wasn't a fluke. Instead, he's slashing .400/.400/.600 and with a 3.3 percent strikeout rate in 30 plate appearances.

  • Padres' Luis Campusano: Placed on IL

    The Padres placed Campusano on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right ankle sprain. Campusano's injury could help explain why he's missed each of the Padres' last four games, and it will officially keep him out for the final two. The 25-year-old backstop put up a .319/.356/.491 slash line through 174 plate appearances in 2023, and he projects as San Diego's primary catcher for 2024.

  • Padres' Luis Campusano: Sitting fourth straight

  • Padres' Luis Campusano: Possible waiver wire pickups

    If you play in a one-catcher league consisting of 12 teams or fewer, chances are you don't need help at that position right now. But in anything that requires you to go a little bit deeper, Luis Campusano could be a godsend. The 24-year-old took over as the Padres' primary option behind the plate once Gary Sanchez went down with a fractured wrist Sept. 6 and has hit .346 (18 for 52) with two home runs and an .882 OPS in that role, striking out at just a 9.1 percent clip. His offensive prowess was never in questions in the minor leagues, where he hit .300 with an .842 OPS across six seasons, but he stalled out at Triple-A because of concerns about his defense. Those concerns remain, but the Padres don't really have a choice anymore. Campusano is getting his opportunity and making the most of it.

  • Padres' Luis Campusano: Absent from lineup

  • Padres' Luis Campusano: Three-run blast in win

    Campusano went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 11-9 win over the Rockies. Campusano has provided at least one RBI in eight of his last 11 games, knocking in 14 runs over that span. The catcher's third-inning blast put the Padres ahead for good in this contest. He's up to seven long balls, 29 RBI, 26 runs scored and six doubles while slashing .307/.344/.487 through 45 contests. He should continue to see a majority of the playing time behind the dish for the remainder of the season.

  • Padres' Luis Campusano: Lifts sixth homer

    Campusano went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Dodgers. Campusano has been productive in September, going 11-for-32 (.344) with 10 RBI over 10 contests. The catcher has seen an increased role since Gary Sanchez suffered a season-ending wrist fracture last week. Campusano is up to six homers, 24 RBI, 22 runs scored and a .305/.343/.481 slash line through 41 games this season, and he should see a majority of the workload behind the dish for the remainder of the campaign.
