5 mins agoCleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan enjoyed a fantastic 2024 campaign, posting a stellar .292/.268/.425 line and remains a top target for batting average. He also hit a career-best 14 home runs and added 12 stolen bases. This was a nice improvement compared to the modest .268/.340/.370 line he held during the 2023 campaign. Under the hood last season, he generated a .284 xBA, which placed him in the 94th percentile among qualified hitters. In addition, he showed an elite eye at the plate with a 9.4% K rate and a 19.2% chase rate, which placed him in the 99th and 96 percentile, respectively, making him quite valuable in points leagues. While his ability to make contact and avoid strikeouts is among the top marks in the sport, he lacks in the power department. He generated a 23.7% hard-hit rate and 2.6% barrel rate, which were among the lowest marks compared to qualified hitters last season. The Oregon State product should continue to bat leadoff in the Cleveland starting nine, making him a safe bet for run production. He has tallied at least 80 runs in each of his first three seasons. While Josh Naylor now resides in Arizona, fantasy managers should not expect his run production to drop significantly, given his elite on-base skills. Sitting at an ADP of 142.5 on the NFBC, Kwan is a safe and reliable option if you need a significant boost to your batting average and run production, but carries minimal power and RBI upside.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller
