Scouting summary

Christian Yelich projects as a solid above-average major league contributor entering age 34. Realistic expectation is 2-3 more productive seasons as slightly above-average corner outfielder/DH producing approximately .260-.280 batting average, .340-.360 OBP, .450+ slugging percentage, and 15-25 annual home runs with 80-100 RBIs in 140+ game seasons. Speed will continue declining, limiting stolen bases to 10-15 annually. Primary value stems from offensive bat and leadership presence rather than five-tool capability. Postseason vulnerability remains concerning—if team requires October production, historical pattern suggests underperformance should be anticipated. Physical durability going forward represents primary risk; back surgery appears successful but remains vulnerability. Further mechanical limitations from spinal caution appear permanent rather than temporary adjustments. Value likely to erode to below-replacement level by age 35-36 unless defying normal aging curves. Best case i
