As the Guardians begin the last 64 games of the 2024 season, I’d like to see a few adjustments made to sustain the excellent performance they displayed in their first 98 games.
Guardians’ Hitters Need to See More Pitches
Overall for the season, the Guardians are fourth-worst in the majors at seeing pitches at only 13.553 pitches, coming out to an average of 142.7 pitches per game. However, coming into the last week of the season (and not counting a Kenta Maeda start), the team was averaging 143.7 pitches per game.
So, in non-Maeda games the week before the All-Star break, the team saw only 126.
