"Seeing as though he was acquired via trade halfway through the season, the expectations for Jarvis were relatively simple: show what you've got. A guy who has mostly been known for being a scrappy, go-getter, Jarvis isn't going to be a guy that rockets up your top prospects list or anything. However, he is a guy that can get things done in an efficient manner, which oftentimes leads to exciting results."
"While those numbers don't exactly jump off the page, Jarvis' ability to put the bat on the ball and limit his strikeouts is what makes him such an intriguing player. In 369 at-bats for the season with both Detroit and Atlanta affiliates, Jarvis struck out just 54 times - good for a 13.1 percent strikeout clip. He also posted an insane contact rate of 81.5 percent,"
"He has worked on elevating the ball more during his stint in the Arizona Fall League, during which he matched his regular season home run total of two in just 15 games. While in the AFL, Jarvis posted a .799 OPS in addition to a pair of doubles and seven RBI, providing some encouragement that he is making some adjustments to his swing and could be a key guy to keep an eye on next year."
Jarvis was drafted by Detroit in the 11th round of the 2023 draft and was acquired by Atlanta in a trade for Rafael Montero at the trade deadline. He produced a .652 OPS in 77 games at Double-A Erie, a .705 OPS in 21 games at Columbus, and went 3-9 with two doubles in three games at Triple-A Gwinnett. Across 369 at-bats with Detroit and Atlanta affiliates he struck out just 54 times (13.1%) and posted an 81.5% contact rate. He has worked to elevate the ball, hitting two home runs in 15 Arizona Fall League games with a .799 OPS, two doubles and seven RBI. Atlanta will likely start him in 2026 at Gwinnett to see if swing adjustments stick.
