Scouting Report: Luis Baez
Chicago Cubs | CF
Overall
Summary
Luis Arraez, 29-year-old second baseman for the San Francisco Giants, has made a remarkable return to prime form in 2026. Despite a thumb injury that caused him to miss two games in mid-May, Arraez has been one of the Giants' standout performers. He is hitting .316 with a wRC+ of 109, leading the team in batting average and strikeout rate (2.5%). His defensive resurgence has been particularly impressive, as he is tied for the MLB lead in Outs Above Average at any position. Arraez signed a one-year, $12 million contract to play second base and has exceeded expectations both offensively and defensively. The Giants are hopeful he will be available for upcoming games after the team's scheduled off-day allows for additional recovery time from his left thumb soreness.
Strengths
- Exceptional batting average of .316, leading the Giants
