Daniel

It was something of a lost year for Daniel in 2024, as an early-season hamstring injury required surgery and sent him to the sideline for a majority of the season. The goalkeeper was busy when fit, averaging more than four saves per match (51 in 12 starts) and conceding two goals per match. The defensive unit in San Jose was almost entirely dismantled ahead of 2025, which should be a good sign as they were one of the worst in the league. It's hard to trust a totally new defense from opening day, giving Daniel some risk for 2025. If the defense improves, Daniel has little competition for the starting job and has shown the ability to make some big saves across his first two seasons with San Jose.
