Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Eric Haase, 33-year-old veteran backup catcher for the San Francisco Giants, delivered an outstanding performance against the Los Angeles Dodgers on May 12, 2026. Haase went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs and 2 RBIs, becoming the first Giants catcher to homer twice in a game at Dodger Stadium. He hit back-to-back homers with Harrison Bader in the fifth inning off Yoshinobu Yamamoto. The Giants won 6-2, improving to 4-1 against the Dodgers this season. In six games with the Giants in 2026, Haase is batting .333 (6-for-18) with 2 home runs, 2 doubles, 4 RBIs, and 4 runs scored. Despite being a backup catcher competing with younger prospects, Haase has proven his value and is expected to see increased playing time following Patrick Bailey's departure to Cleveland.
