Overview

  • Grisham hit two home runs and drove in two in a 7–2 win over Boston on Aug. 25.
  • He reached a career-high 25 homers for 2025, emerging as a regular offensive contributor.
  • His fourth multi-homer game of the season ties seasons by Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio for Yankees centerfielders, according to New York Yankees Stats.
  • In the leadoff role he has paired power with discipline, posting a .247/.351/.469 line with elite chase suppression and a 13% walk rate, including 15 homers when leading off.
  • Approaching free agency at age 29 next season, he is boosting his market value as reports suggest the Yankees could let him test the market given outfield options Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger, Jasson Domínguez, and prospect Spencer Jones.
