Is Trent Grisham the Secret Weapon That Could Transform the Yankees’ 2026 Season?
So can Grisham replicate his terrific 2025? It’s hard to say. It would be foolish to fully expect him to replicate an incredible year where he had a case to be named to the All-Star team, but he showed enough progression in his offensive profile that it can make you truly believe he will continue to be one of the better-hitting center fielders in the game.
For one, he’s 29, not 33. If a guy randomly progresses in his mid-to-late 30s (looking at you, George Springer), you can probably assume some regression to the mean. For Grisham, he’s still in his athletic prime. His xwOBA has absolutely exploded from mediocre to the 91st percentile, indicating he’s doing things to back up his offensive numbers. He’s also improved his strikeout rate, which, while still mediocre, is no longer a serious problem.
A lot of what Grisham has improved, however, has been taking his already good offensive traits and making them elite. He’s historically been above average in barrel rate, average exit velocity, chase rate, and walk rate. In all four areas, he’s raised those numbers to elite. His chase rate, especially, has improved. It’s now in the 99th percentile. He obliterated fastballs in 2025 and used his pull-side power to abuse the short porch.
