The Cleveland Indians just missed out on a wild-card play-in game in 2019. To take the next step within the AL Central, they’ll have to gain ground on the defending division champs, the Minnesota Twins. That’s the only way they’ll have a clear shot at the postseason. One of their better bats in their lineup is Jose Ramirez.
In 2018, Ramirez went off with huge numbers (39 HRs, 105 RB, and 34 SBs). A regression should’ve been expected in 2019 and it did come. Ramirez slumped over the first 34 games of the year (.197 with two HRs, nine RBI, and nine SBs over 127 at-bats).
