26-Year-Old Second Baseman2B
Arizona Diamondbacks
2025 Fantasy Outlook
The Diamondbacks protected Tawa from the Rule 5 draft this winter, after the 25-year-old swatted 32 home runs with an .868 OPS between two minor-league stops in 2024. It should be noted that those numbers were heavily influenced by hitter-friendly parks in Amarillo and Reno. Tawa's value to the organization lay in his position versatility - he played every defensive position on the diamond except catcher - and as a right-handed bat for a lineup that leans lefty. He'll compete with the switch-hitting Ildemaro Vargas for a utility position during spring training. Read Past Outlooks

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Friday that the decision to keep Tawa on the major-league roster following the activation of Ketel Marte from the 10-day injured list was a "no-brainer," Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Tawa was the primary fill-in at second base while Marte was on the IL, but the rookie opened Friday's 3-2 loss to the Phillies on the bench, as expected. Tawa eventually pinch hit for Alek Thomas in the ninth inning. Marte, who is coming back from a hamstring injury, isn't yet ready to play second base on an everyday basis, so Tawa will fill in on the days when Marte serves as the designated hitter or gets held out for rest. Tawa, who has batted .190/.304/.483 with five home runs and two steals over his first 19 big-league games, could also be an option at third base and in center field.
