Jonathan Aranda hopes to make a splash next season

Jonathan Aranda improved his batting average during a nine-game stretch last season, going from .267 to .321. After four matches, it had reached .340. The Rays were impressed with the 25-year-old's form, as he went .547 (29 for 53) with three home runs and eight doubles in his last 13 games.

The Rays put on a show during the early parts of the 2023 season, as they powered through almost every team for over a month at a stretch. While injuries and inconsistency struck, Tampa Bay will be optimistic in 2024. The Rays will be hoping for more from Aranda in 2024 and he will look to play a big role for the team in the upcoming season.

The loss of star pitcher Tyler Glasnow to the Los Angeles Dodgers will doubtless be felt, but if the Rays can continue to develop their young players, they could be a surprise package in the 2024 season.

The hope is that Jonathan Aranda can continue to improve and make an impact in the upcoming campaign and at 25, this is his time to shine.
