After his promising 2023 debut in the Majors, last season was nothing to brag about. No hits, no RBIs, and a ratio of 7 strikeouts to 3 walks. But with the caveat of only 25 PAs.
FanGraphs’ Depth Chart offseason projection was not encouraging (-1 Bat, -0.2 Fld, and 0 BsR in 28 projected PAs).
The Astros designated him for assignment.
Grae Kessinger could contribute as a bench player for the Diamondbacks.
The Diamondbacks traded for him. It was a good move!
In each of his two seasons in the Majors, he played all the infield positions except catcher.
