Jarren Duran

After posting an .832 OPS across the 2023 and 2024 campaigns, Duran took a step back last season with a .256/.332/.442 slash line in 157 games. He finished 2024 with 21 homers and 34 stolen bases but saw that production drop to 16 long balls and 24 steals in 2025. Duran outperformed his underlying numbers in 2024, and his production last season better lined up with his batted-ball metrics (9.7 percent barrel rate and 46.8 percent hard-hit rate in 2025). The regression wasn't limited to his offense, as he also saw his DRS drop from plus-23 to plus-9 and his OAA go from plus-10 to minus-2. Even with that lesser production, Duran will enter 2026 as a 20-20 candidate and has a solid floor for run production after finishing with 84 RBI and 86 runs last year. Read Past Outlooks
