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

Cracks first long ball of 2025
2BArizona Diamondbacks
April 16, 2025
Tawa went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Marlins.
ANALYSIS
Tawa slugged his first MLB home run in the seventh inning, when he took Tyler Phillips deep to left-center field for a 414-foot blast. The rookie has appeared in six games (five starts) this season and has gone 4-for-18 with one walk, four runs scored, one home run and five RBI. He looks set to see most of the starts at second base while Ketel Marte (hamstring) is on the injured list.
