Steven Kwan News
Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan went 3-for-5 with two runs and a walk in Tuesday's victory against the Boston Red Sox. The leadoff hitter for the Guardians raised his batting average to an astounding .372 with the strong effort. All three hits were singles, but a hit is a hit. Kwan has been scorching hot with his bat this season, but 25 of his 29 hits have been singles with two doubles and two homers. He also only has three walks on the season for an OBP of .395. With ability to only reach base when he is hitting the ball well, his ceiling is limited, but at the same time he is an asset when he is in the groove of things as he currently is. Kwan could be a good sell-high candidate as he will eventually regress and doesn't offer much in other counting categories. He will look to stay hot on Tuesday versus Tanner Houck and the Red Sox.
Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan, who has won a Gold Glove in each of the last two seasons, will remain as the team's left fielder in 2024, according to manager Stephen Vogt. Kwan hit .268/.340/.370 with five home runs, 36 doubles, seven triples, 54 RBI, 21 stolen bases and 93 runs scored in 718 plate appearances over 158 games in his second year in the big leagues with Cleveland in 2023. The 26-year-old rarely strikes out and will continue to provide a decent batting average and plenty of stolen bases and runs scored for fantasy managers. Just don't expect much power, as he's cleared the fences just 11 times the last two years. You'll have to get your power elsewhere, but Kwan is useful as outfield depth for his runs and steals in rotisserie leagues.
Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan is back in the starting lineup Thursday night against the visiting Baltimore Orioles and right-hander Grayson Rodriguez. Kwan didn't appear in the Guardians' 6-2 loss to the Royals on Wednesday afternoon but will return to the leadoff spot and man left field Thursday in Cleveland. One of the tougher outs in baseball, Kwan is hitting .270 on the season with five homers, 20 stolen bases, and a 9.7% BB% that nearly matches his tiny 10.2% K%. The 26-year-old has logged a two-hit game in three of his last four contests while he's collected two doubles, two runs, and four RBI in that time.

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan's 2023 stat line looked much like his 2022 stat line, coming in at .268-5-54-93-21. The significant difference was his batting average, which was 30 points lower than in 2022, while his .313 WOBA and 100 wRC+ also took a step backward (.341 WOBA, 126 wRC+). The former fifth-round pick is one of the best in MLB at putting bat-to-ball, though, so look for the BA to bounce back in 2024. Last season, he had a 90.4% Contact%, second in all of baseball behind only the NL batting champ, Luis Arraez. He's got a minuscule 10.4% K% (98th percentile) and 11.1% Whiff% (100th percentile). When he's not putting the bat on the ball, the lefty also has a better-than-league-average BB% of 9.7% and can steal a base when he gets on (19 SB in '22, 21 in '23). ATC projections have him with a .276-5-52-79-17 line, a .319 WOBA, and 104 wRC+ in 2024. RotoBaller ranks him at 203, slightly ahead of his NFBC ADP of 208. Hitting leadoff and averaging 152 games played during his first two seasons, he'll be a reliable source of R and SB in roto leagues, and you can draft him 35 spots higher in points leagues.
