Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo Leads NL with Clutch Hitting, Secures Dominican SS Spot

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Geraldo Perdomo is having a breakout 2025 season, establishing himself as one of the best players in the National League and a key offensive and defensive contributor to his team. He is particularly effective with runners in scoring position and no outs, hitting .526 in such situations, and has not struck out or popped out in those moments this season. Perdomo recently delivered a walk-off single in a crucial game against the Dodgers, extending his hitting streak to 12 games and boosting Arizona's playoff hopes. Offensively, he boasts a .290 average with 19 home runs, 98 RBIs, 26 stolen bases, and strong plate discipline, while defensively he provides excellent range and arm strength at shortstop. His performance has earned him his first All-Star selection and significant fan support to represent the Dominican Republic in the 2026 World Baseball Classic. Despite Arizona's overall struggles due to pitching injuries, Perdomo’s consistent excellence and advanced baseball IQ mark him as a potential MVP candidate and a cornerstone for the team’s future.
