Tim Tawa

26-Year-Old Second Baseman2B
Arizona Diamondbacks
2025 Fantasy Outlook
The Diamondbacks protected Tawa from the Rule 5 draft this winter, after the 25-year-old swatted 32 home runs with an .868 OPS between two minor-league stops in 2024. It should be noted that those numbers were heavily influenced by hitter-friendly parks in Amarillo and Reno. Tawa's value to the organization lay in his position versatility - he played every defensive position on the diamond except catcher - and as a right-handed bat for a lineup that leans lefty. He'll compete with the switch-hitting Ildemaro Vargas for a utility position during spring training. Read Past Outlooks

Steals base in win
2BArizona Diamondbacks
May 27, 2025
Tawa started in center field and went 0-for-3 with an RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 5-0 win over the Pirates.
ANALYSIS
Tawa filled his usual role, replacing Alek Thomas whenever the Diamondbacks face a left-hander. He knocked in Arizona's first run with a sacrifice fly in the second inning and then stole his sixth base of the season in the eighth inning. He's stolen four bases over 15 contests since second baseman Ketel Marte returned from an injury and adjusted Tawa's role to a degree. Tawa is batting .227/.297/.423 with five home runs, 13 RBI and 13 runs scored in 34 contests.
