"In turn, Guerrero Jr. had a strong regular season and an exceptional postseason. In his 680 plate appearances during the regular season, Guerrero Jr. slashed .292/.381/.467 with 23 home runs, the fewest home runs he's hit since 2020. However, he finished with a 137 wRC+ and 3.9 fWAR, finishing as a Gold Glove finalist at first base. Funnily enough, Guerrero Jr. had a rough end to his season, slashing .264/.314/.344 with two home runs in 137 plate appearances, giving him an 83 wRC+."
"Thankfully, that was overshadowed by his phenomenal postseason, where he slashed .397/.494/.795 with eight home runs in 89 plate appearances, giving him a 241 wRC+. So what about projections and his role? Well, the latter question is rather easy to answer, as Guerrero Jr. has been incredibly durable throughout his career, playing no fewer than 156 games since 2021. He'll start most games at first base (last year he played 133 games at the position), with some designated hitting sprinkled in."
