Steven Kwan had a great season and should get a nice extension from the Cleveland Guardians this offseason if they know ball.
In his age 26 season, Kwan put up a 131 wRC+ and 4.1 fWAR in 122 games in 2024, and followed it up with 158 wRC+ in ten playoff games. Kwan dealt with hamstring and back issues during the season, perhaps leading to a fairly significant midseason slump, but it didn’t stop him from making the All-Star team as the American League’s starting left-fielder.
Among 205 players with at least 100 innings in left field since 2022, Steven Kwan leads the field with 47 Defensive Runs Saved and 22 Outs Above Average.
