Gabriel Arias did exactly what was asked of him in 2022. He wasn’t one of the rookies that caught fire and got a bunch of playing time, but when the Guardians needed him to fill in a few spots here and there, he did it. And that’s about all there was to his season.
Still only 22 years old (he’ll be 23 when next season rolls around), Arias showed he could play anywhere defensively and had speed around the bases but wasn’t given nearly enough time to show if he’s going to make it in the majors yet or not.
