Andrew Knizner is 31, was drafted in the seventh round in 2016, and has spent a decade being employed for the half of catching that never reaches a batting line. Seattle released him in March. Colorado released him in June. His Boston contract ended on August 7. Four days later the Giants signed him, and the last major league inning he caught was in their building, on September 27, a year to the day before their season ends.

Zach Morgan was a major league catcher for one game and did not catch it. The Giants called him up August 10 after Susac fractured his patella, sat him behind Drew Cavanaugh, signed 31-year-old Andrew Knizner off the free agent market the next day, and sent Morgan back to Triple-A. The league's own player record lists no debut date for him. There is a word for what he nearly became, and more than 400 men in baseball history have earned it.
