2025 Player Outlook
Gurriel has built a consistent profile outside of a power outage back in 2022. He is a solid source of batting average as a career .279 hitter, but his 5.6 percent walk rate leaves him lacking in the OBP department. He has a chance for 20+ homers and 80+ RBI as a middle-of-the-order threat for Arizona.
