Arizona Diamondbacks' Breakout Stars: Lawlar & Thomas

ESPN analyst Kiley McDaniel highlights Arizona Diamondbacks Alek Thomas and Jordan Lawlar as top breakout candidates for the 2026 season. Both players, set to start in center and left field, have impressed in spring training with strong performances. Lawlar has hit four home runs and improved against same-handed off-speed pitches, while Thomas has slugged four sixty-seven with a homer for Mexico in the World Baseball Classic. These are crucial years for both players, as they aim to prove their worth in the majors and rebound from injuries. If they continue their form, they could secure everyday lineup spots and help the Diamondbacks build around their young talent.
