It wasn’t that long ago that Steven Kwan was returning from injury looking like a robot built to hit baseballs. The wait for him to re-qualify for the batting title was a highlight of the first half of the season as Kwan was putting together more multi-hit games than he was total strikeouts. Then the calendar flipped to July, and that all changed.
Kwan isn’t the biggest guy. His bat speed and exit velos won’t wow anyone, but what he does possess is elite bat control. Running the league’s highest squared up rate regardless of this current slump, his prowess of getting the bat to the ball in a competitive manner is second to none.
