Arozarena

Arozarena already had three hard-hit balls before he hit one 360 feet to right-center for is seventh homer, giving the Orioles a 6-4 lead in the 10th. The Orioles managed to score the automatic runner in the bottom of the frame, but that was it for them. Arozarena has seven homers on the year. Statcast thinks he’s overachieved in hitting .299/.385/.462, but there’s no point in telling him that

Arozarena also stole his 15th base. With two strikes, the 31-year-old outfielder poked a ball into the gap on a double to score J.P. Crawford and gave Seattle their fourth-straight win. Arozarena has been outstanding with the bat in 2026 with a slash of .297/.382/.467, and he’s been able to drive in 26 runs in the process.

Arozarena collected his sixth homer of the year off Jack Perkins to make it a 9-1 game in the ninth. He’ll have to pick up the pace ever so slightly there in order to pull off a sixth straight 20/20 season. It doesn’t look like steals will be a problem, as he already has 14 of those. Of course, Arozarena does like to take it down to the wire more years. In his previous five 20/20 seasons, he’s finished with exactly 20 homers three times and exactly 20 steals twice.

Arozarena took hard-throwing Chicago reliever Jordan Hicks deep for a 396-foot moonshot to left-center field that gave Seattle a three-run lead that they wouldn’t relinquish. It was his fifth round-tripper of the season. The 31-year-old power/speed combo fantasy threat is hitting a robust .324/.413/.515 with 14 runs scored, three homers, 10 RBI and seven steals in 19 games since the start of May.

Arozarena is on first with multiple hits in his last three games and a seven-game hit streak. During that time, he’s raised his batting average from .265 to .306, which is tied for 15th-highest in the league. On top of all these hits, he’s also running wild with four steals in his last nine games as he contributes to our teams in a multitude of ways.

Arozarena had an incredible day at the plate, starting with a two-run blast off Tatsuya Imai in the second inning. He was hit by a pitch in the fourth, stole second, and scored on a grand slam. He added a double and a run scored in the fifth, then drove in a run with another double in the seventh before ending his day with a fourth hit and run scored in the ninth. The 31-year-old outfielder is off to an excellent start, hitting .303/.389/.465 with four homers, 31 runs scored, 16 RBI, and 10 steals across 180 plate appearances.

Arozarena also drew a walk. The 31-year-old hasn’t shown a ton of power in the beginning of the season in terms of homers, but that double was already the ninth of the season for the outfielder. He’s now slashing a commendable .297/.385/.450 over the first 31 games of the campaign. The homers should start to come, too.

Arozarena spanked a two-run shot off MacKenzie Gore — one of three homers that Gore allowed — to up Seattle’s lead to 5-0. He’s now gone deep twice in 2026 with a superb slash of .293/.402/.427. Arozarena tends to run hot-and-cold, but this is a very encouraging first three weeks of what could be his final season in Seattle.

Arozarena knocked a base hit in the second inning and scored the Mariners’ only run of the game on a sacrifice fly. He later added a single in the sixth for his second hit of the game, his third multi-hit game in his last six. The 31-year-old outfielder is hitting a solid .286/.408/.381 with one homer, 13 runs scored, seven RBI, and four steals across 76 plate appearances.

Arozarena had a chance for a four-hit game, but instead drew a walk off Bryan Abreu. The power hasn’t been there outside of an absolute missile hit Saturday, but he’s now hitting .291/.426/.400 over the first 16 games. Arozarena should again be a solid — if at times frustrating — fantasy option in 2026.
