Zunino is a right-handed hitter and will turn 32 years old shortly before the 2023 season starts. He played only 36 games for Tampa Bay in 2022, discovering he had thoracic outlet syndrome which was causing weakness and tingling in his non-throwing shoulder, after which he had surgery to correct the problem.
