Christian Koss is a little guy. He’s 185 pounds with rocks in his pockets. The graph illustrating how he compares to the rest of the league in terms of contact quality is as blue as Lake Tahoe.
Christian Koss and Rafael Devers both hit two homers Saturday, when the visiting San Francisco Giants beat the New York Mets 9-5 in the middle game of a three-game series.
The San Francisco Giants were content to play through one infielder injury, but not a second one. On Wednesday, ahead of their series finale against the Diamondbacks, the team announced that third baseman Matt Chapman had been placed on the 10-Day Injured List with an abdominal strain.
The Giants provided updates on a pair of injured minor leaguers on Tuesday (via Evan Webeck of The California Post). Infielder Christian Koss has a broken left wrist and outfielder Grant McCray fractured the hamate bone in his left hand/wrist.
Like all scrappy bench players, Christian Koss touched hearts and minds. Everybody loves an underdog and here is a guy who looks overmatched against big league pitching yet hanging in there anyway.
2025 stats: 76 G, 191 PA, .264/.309/.368, 94 OPS+ (91 wRC+), 1.9 bWAR… 0.00 ERA I’ve always thought it’d be fun to compile an encyclopedia of all the San Francisco Giants utility infielders in the 21st century.
The San Francisco Giants season is over. They finished at exactly .500, which is exactly one win better than one year ago, exactly two wins better than two years ago, and exactly the same as three years ago.
Baseball’s a funny sport, which I suspect you already knew. The San Francisco Giants sent their ace to the mound on Tuesday, and emerged with a loss.

Christian Koss and Heliot Ramos each drove in two runs in a five-run sixth inning, Jung Ho Lee collected three hits, including a home run, and the San Francisco Giants outlasted the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks 11-5 in the opener of a three-game series Monday night.

The Giants announced a series of roster moves this evening, headlined by the return of third baseman Matt Chapman from the injured list. Infielder Sergio Alcantara was designated for assignment to make room for Chapman on the active roster.
There aren’t many rules to attending a Major League Baseball game, but one of them is to never interfere with a ball in play. One Arizona Diamondbacks fan didn’t get that memo — any of the four times it’s been delivered to him.
On Monday night, the Diamondbacks and Giants were locked in a tight ballgame in the top of the eighth inning with Arizona leading 3-2. Christian Koss lifted a fly ball to deep left-center that appeared to be a home run.
The San Francisco Giants (44-35) currently occupy the second of three National League Wild Card slots and are only four and half games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West race, giving their fans plenty to celebrate after back-to-back losing seasons.
A big win deserves a bad pun. It’s impossible to draw up the blueprint for the perfect win for the moment. Impossible, yes, because you can’t script a baseball game (or at least you can’t expect it to follow the script; by all means, write away).
The Giants announced that they’ve selected infielder Christian Koss onto the 40-man roster. He’ll break camp and will make his major league debut once he gets into a game.
