Unfortunately, the 2025 season has seen his bat regress to the point where Dubón's long-term future with the Astros should be in question. Mauricio Dubón's offensive regression raises questions ...

Dubón does have a stronger arm — he averages 89.4 mph on throws from center field while McCormick is at 84.6, according to Baseball Savant — but his dreadful offensive output is far too glaring.

Mauricio Dubón homered with two outs in the top of the ninth inning and the Astros held off the A's 3-2 on Sunday.

Dubón’s offensive uptick in May led to more time at a second-base position that remains something of a timeshare for Houston. Rodgers, Dubón and Altuve have all started at least 14 games there.
