Expert Note
View More NotesJonathan Aranda broke out in 2025, slashing .316/.393/.489 with a 146 OPS+ across 422 plate appearances, supported by elite quality of contact (93.0 mph average exit velocity, 54.8% hard-hit rate). His .409 BABIP and 30.5% line-drive rate fueled the batting average spike, while his 147 Rbat+ confirms the impact was more than just surface-level production. The 2026 projections dial back the average but maintain strong on-base skills and mid-20s homer pace, reflecting some regression without dismissing the skill growth. With no speed component and most of his value tied to bat-first production, Aranda profiles as a high-floor corner infield option in OBP formats, though managers should price in batting-average normalization rather than paying for a repeat of the .300-plus mark.
