Since the start of the 2019 season, Tommy Edman ranks 30th among all position players with 17.1 WAR, ahead of guys like Jose Altuve, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Ozzie Albies, Cody Bellinger, Jeff McNeil, Ketel Marte and countless other notable stars.
That total is somewhat inflated by a 6.3-WAR campaign in 2022, but even with a step backward at the plate last year, he was still a 2.1-WAR player thanks to his speed (27 SB), sneaky power (42 XBH, 13 HR) and defensive versatility.
After playing primarily middle infield at the start of his career, he shifted to center field during the second half last season to clear a path for Nolan Gorman and Masyn Winn to be the team's future double-play combination.
