Giants Organizational Depth Charts: Third Base

The only reason we need to talk about a depth chart for third base is in case of injury to Matt Chapman, otherwise he's the third baseman for the next 5 years and he's going to be out there every day.  

MLB:

Matt Chapman:  The only question mark with Chapman is whether his hand will be fully healed by spring.  He seemed more comfortable down the stretch so reason to be optimistic.  

Casey Schmitt:  One big point for rolling with Schmitt and Koss again at 2B is their versatility.  Koss can cover SS and Schmitt can cover 3B in situations where coverage is needed but likely to be seldom used.

AAA:  

None:

AA:  

Sabin Ceballos:  Had a great spring training and and abysmal AA season.  He finally go hot in the final month.  Did he finally figure out AA pitching or was that a sample size blip?

Justin Wishkoski:  The Eastern League Curse bites him too.  Weak line of .223/.316/.325 got worse as season progressed.

A+:  

Zander Darby:  12'th round draft pick out of UCSB in 2024.  Batted .291/.403/.459 for A San Jose, .123/.261/.228 in a small sample after a late promotion to A+.

A:  

Walker Martin:  Had a burst of home runs midseason but overall another disappointing season at the plate with a high K rate.  Assigned to Arizona Fall League but I have not seen his name in the boxscores there.

Dario Reynoso:  Started out as a shortstop in the DSL.  Played 2B and 3B last season about equally last season.  20 years old with 3 seasons of pro experience.  Batted .298/.442/.556 for the ACL Giants.  Struggled to a .128 BA in a small sample after promotion to A San Jose after the ACL season ended. 

ACL: 

None:  Most third basemen start out as shortstops who outgrow the position.

DSL:

None 

Comment:  Giants may be in the market for a 3B with MLB experience on a minor league deal but that's about it for 2026.
