"Andujar, 31 in March, is coming off his best season in years. He missed a little over a month due to an oblique strain but got into 94 games, split between the A's and Reds after a deadline trade. He generally puts the ball in play a lot, avoiding both strikeouts and walks, and that continued to be the case last year. In his 341 plate appearances, his 5% walk rate was quite low but he was also only struck out at a 14.4% clip."
"He produced a .318/.352/.470 batting line, production which translated to a wRC+ of 125, or 25% better than league average. There was likely a bit of good luck in there, as his .348 batting average on balls in play was quite high, but it would have been a good showing even with neutral luck. He slashed .277/.315/.399 over 2023 and 2024 for a wRC+ of 103, with a decreased .306 BABIP in that stretch."
Miguel Andujar, a 31-year-old free agent infielder/outfielder, attracted interest from multiple clubs including the Rangers, Padres, Cardinals, Reds, Cubs and Athletics. He played 94 games after missing a month with an oblique strain and posted a .318/.352/.470 line with a 125 wRC+ in 341 plate appearances. He walked only 5% and struck out 14.4%. His .348 BABIP suggests some positive luck, though his combined 2023–24 wRC+ of 103 indicates solid baseline production. Andujar bats right-handed with pronounced platoon splits, offering a .297/.332/.475 career line and 121 wRC+ versus left-handers. He provides corner defensive versatility but no standout defensive grade.
