Why Tarik Skubal Dominates the 2027 MLB Free-Agent Class and Who Could Upend Him
| Player | AB | AVG | HR | SB | OPS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 113 | .230 | 7 | 1 | .811 | |
| 114 | .289 | 2 | 7 | .819 | |
| 115 | .304 | 1 | 1 | .881 |
This is a weird one. Three left fielders, all of them nearly the same age, with very similar offensive production over the past three seasons. Happ gets the edge in the early going because he has the longest track record, and he’s merely average defensively, whereas Arozarena and Ward are active detriments in the outfield.
But if steals are your thing, Arozarena is your guy. He has 112 bags since 2022 (Happ has 43, Ward 20). And, of course, the Cuban-born Mexican goofball always brings a flair for the dramatic. Ward is off to a scorching start in 2026, with a batting average over .300 and a league-leading 13 doubles. He also owns the single lowest chase rate in MLB.
