Just as everyone predicted, after 10 games, Myles Straw leads the Guardians with a 168 wRC+.
While Straw doubling career average wRC+ over the course of a full season seems about as realistic as winning the MVP (which he would have a very good shot of doing with that kind of offensive performance), it’s good to see him continue the positive signs at the plate he showed to conclude the 2022 season.
After a torrid April 2022 in which he put up a 125 wRC+, Straw dipped to a 35 wRC+ in May-August. Thankfully, he accompanied this dreadful slump with amazing defense in center field, for which he won a gold glove.
