Trent Grisham’s Career Year: Yankees’ Outfielder Finds New Power Stroke in 2025 Season

Career Renaissance in the Bronx

In 2025, Grisham got off to the best start of his career, improving his offensive profile and earning significant playing time in center field. The transformation has been remarkable, especially considering his recent struggles.

Current Performance

Grisham’s recent performance has been particularly impressive, highlighted by two grand slams in his last four games. His hot streak has seen him collect eight home runs and 15 RBI across his last 13 games, though maintaining a modest .277 batting average during this stretch.

His overall 2025 season statistics are impressive, with a .248 batting average, .841 OPS, 29 home runs, 61 RBI, and 73 runs scored across 121 games. These numbers indicate he’s on track for a career year in most statistical categories, with the exception of stolen bases.

Career Background

Grisham, an American professional baseball center fielder for the New York Yankees, has previously played for the Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres. His defensive prowess is well-documented, having won the Gold Glove Award in 2022, making him one of just four Padres players to win multiple Gold Gloves, joining the elite company of Tony Gwynn, Steve Finley, and Dave Winfield.

Looking Ahead

Following the Yankees’ loss of Juan Soto and addition of Cody Bellinger in the offseason, along with their commitment to giving phenom Jasson Dominguez regular playing time, Grisham has had to earn his opportunities. Despite initial expectations of limited playing time as a reserve outfielder and left-handed pinch hitter, his recent performance suggests he’s forcing his way into more regular playing time.
