Can he do it again? Well, luck would have to be quite on his side for the second campaign in a row.<\/p>\n

Grisham was the luckiest hitter in baseball in 2025.<\/p>\n

That’s deduced by Fielding Runs Value for individual hitters, compiled by Baseball Savant. It essentially assesses what level a defense played against a given guy.<\/p>\n

There’s one reason to believe in what Grisham did: the power.<\/p>\n

Defense doesn’t matter when you leave the yard, and Grisham hit a career-high 34 home runs.<\/p>\n

Grisham is also valuable by being a strong defender in centerfield, so he’s not just going to fall off the table.<\/p>\n

But it wouldn’t be shocking to see his hitting numbers decline at least a bit. The luck has to shift to some extent, right?<\/p>\n

The Yanks are counting on Grisham to keep being who he is, though, and maybe he can keep the good times rolling.<\/p>\n
