Overview

• Trent Grisham, acquired as a secondary piece in the Juan Soto trade, has emerged as a pivotal player for the Yankees in 2025.
• Grisham hit his 10th home run of the season on May 7, tying a game against the Padres that the Yankees won in extra innings.
• His current .972 OPS and 10 home runs in 31 games represent a stark improvement from his previous three seasons, where he struggled offensively.
• The Yankees coaching staff credits adjustments to Grisham’s stance and his move to the leadoff spot for his early-season success.
• Despite skepticism about sustaining his torrid pace, Grisham’s contributions have bolstered a Yankees offense leading MLB in several key categories without Juan Soto and Giancarlo Stanton.
