Forget Steven Kwan hitting .400, who was the last Cleveland player to bat at least .350?
Maybe I’m just getting completely caught up in the excitement: Is it possible Steven Kwan could hit .400 this year? Or even, dare I say, challenge Joe Dimaggio’s 56-game hitting streak? I haven’t seen such a pure contact hitter since Ichiro Suzuki.Your email sent me to the record book. I thought Joe Jackson was the only Cleveland player to hit .400. He batted .408 in 1911. Who was the last to hit at least .350? It was Manny Ramirez and Albert Belle .
Will Brennan and David Fry have each hit eight homers while playing the outfield this season. That's a total of 16, matching the output of the entire Cleveland outfield in 2023.If I’m doing the math right, the Guardians’ outfielders have more home runs this year in 72 games than they did all of last year.It’s not even close. The Guardians entered the weekend with 32 homers from their outfielders. That compares to 16 for all of 2023.
The Guardians didn’t want to commit $6.5 million to him in 2024, given his arm problems and 5.24 ERA in 2023. They traded him to Colorado for minor league catcher Kody Huff. 2. Jones was traded to Colorado for Juan Brito, a player the Guardians love. In 2023, Jones hit .297 with 20 homers and 62 RBI in 424 plate appearances. This spring, he was injured. He’s had back problems. He’s batting .194 with one homer in 126 plate appearances. He’s now supposed to be healthy, so we’ll see if he returns to his 2023 form.
