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

Fills in at first base

June 6, 2025
Tawa went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Thursday's 11-10 win over Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Tawa entered as a pinch hitter for first baseman Pavin Smith and remained in the game to play the same position. It was the second time this season Tawa played first base. Arizona might normally use Josh Naylor to fill-in at first, but he had started the game as the DH and eventually left with a shoulder injury. If Naylor's injury forces him to miss time, Smith would be the likely starter at first base against righties. Against a lefty, which the D-backs will face Friday (Nick Lodolo), either Tawa, Lourdes Gurriel or Ildemaro Vargas could start.
