2026 Fantasy Outlook
Tawa opened the year at Triple-A Reno before being recalled in early April to make his major league debut as an injury replacement for Ketel Marte. He was hitting just .190 when Marte returned in early May, but Tawa remained with the Diamondbacks after producing five homers, two steals, 10 runs and 10 RBI in 19 games. He spent most of the season with the club, though a month-long demotion in the second half interrupted his run. His production tailed off significantly, but above-average defense across the diamond helped preserve his roster spot. Tawa's defensive versatility gives him a path to a super-utility role, though a high strikeout rate and modest quality of contact limit his chances for sustained regular playing time.

Signed a one-year contract with the Diamondbacks in March of 2026.
Steals base in loss
Tawa started at third base and went 0-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Milwaukee.
Analysis
Tawa, who was called up Sunday and gave Nolan Arenado a breather at the hot corner, stole his first base in three attempts in the majors this season. He's also had a couple of steals (caught once) in the minors. Tawa is not a volume base stealer but has swiped between 10 and 14 bags in each of five previous seasons of professional ball. He gives the Diamondbacks more flexibility off the bench than the player he replaced, LuJames Groover, who was buried at first base behind Pavin Smith and Ildemaro Vargas.

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.
