Trent Grisham is providing the new york yankees unexpected value in the outfield early in the season. Grisham arrived in New York as part of the trade that brought Juan Soto to the club.
While Soto's tenure in New York was limited, Grisham has given the team value beyond the initial expectation.
Grisham is hitting .306 with a .386 on-base percentage and a .661 slugging percentage. He has recorded seven home runs and 14 runs batted in.
His offensive performance includes a 1.047 OPS and a 195 OPS+. These numbers reflect a strong start to the year.
Baseball writer Joel Reuter recently ranked Trent Grisham among the top center fielders in Major League Baseball. Grisham appeared as the fifth-best player at the position according to the Bleacher Report rankings.
Grisham began his MLB career with the Milwaukee Brewers before being traded to San Diego and then to the Yankees. He spent just one season in Milwaukee.
He was often seen as a complementary player in the larger Juan Soto trade. His current performance exceeds that initial perception.
The former Brewer is currently off to a strong start with the club.
