Explosive Eugenio Suárez starts 2025 season off on fire for Arizona Diamondbacks

Just last season, Suarez was having one of the worst starts of his career, only having a .193 batting average towards the end of June. D-Backs were at a crossroads with Suarez, but held on hoping that things would change. They definitely did, as he put the first half of the season behind him and ended the 2024 campaign with 101 RBI’s and 30 home runs.

Maybe it was his slight adjustments at the plate with his swinging mechanics, the switch up by adding in different high velocity hitting drills into his workouts, whatever it was.. the D-Backs never gave up on him. It’s paid off in the long run.

Suárez mentioned after the game, “Obviously it feels great to have a start like this and like I always say, I just want to keep going and take whatever baseball will give to me.”

Eugenio Suárez, like Merrill Kelly, seems to have good games against this Chicago ball club, as he now has 34 total home runs against them in his career, dating back to his time in Cincinnati as well. Suárez, who might be slowly becoming a fan favorite, is a veteran and massive clubhouse guy as well. Showing he has all the top qualities any team would love to have.
