Díaz, Harrison, Bleday, Sánchez, Contreras

Díaz builds on '25 breakout … Yandy Díaz (DH, TAM) is out to prove his doubters wrong.  Not only is he repeating last year's .300-25 HR season, but he's also improving upon it, hitting .325 with 12 HRs. At 34, do the underlying skills support this level of production?

Year	PA	HR	BA	xBA	BB%	ct%	HctX	PX/xPX	FB%	HR/F	Brl%	h%
2023	600	22	.330	.281	10	82	142	109/95	28	17%	9.5	36
2024	621	14	.281	.251	8	83	133	82/76	27	10%	7.7	31
2025	651	25	.300	.286	9	84	122	101/83	27	18%	8.3	32
2026	267	12	.331	.289	9	86	131	111/111	33	17%	9.0	34

The indicators say yes:

• Díaz continues to improve an already elite ct%. And HctX remains well above league-average.
• h% is very much in line with levels from the past three seasons, which tells us he should continue to outhit an excellent xBA. 
• We know Díaz hits the ball...
