2025 Player Outlook
Arenado continues to be a regular on the field, playing in 144 or more games in each of the last four years, but the problem lies with the fact that his power is dissipating, and last year's 16 home runs was the fewest he's hit in a season since 2013 (not counting 2020). His .394 SLG last year was easily the lowest of his career, and last year's average exit velocity of 86.3 miles per hour was in the ninth percentile in the MLB. The bat speed isn't there, and age may finally be catching up to Arenado. He's going to play every day and will continue to get the bat on the ball, but the days of Arenado being a prolific offensive force are behind him. He's an average third base option who will need to hit .275+ to offset the lower-end power you'll get (comparative to the position).
