Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan hit his 13th homer of the season in the team's 9-8 win over the Cubs on Monday. Kwan, long known as a contact hitter who does not strike out, has provided unexpected power this season. His 13 homers are more than he hit the last two full seasons combined (11 homers in 2022 and 2023 combined). With a slash line of .326/.386/.485 Kwan is having the most productive season of his career. At 26 years old, the breakout is not surprising but is still rewarding for fantasy managers who waited out an IL stint this season to see him return in a big way.
The Cleveland Guardians will give outfielder Steven Kwan a rest on Tuesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Kwan, second in the majors with a .334 batting average, is replaced in the lineup by rookie Angel Martinez, who is batting eighth in the order. Kwan is enjoying a breakout season that has seen him hit 11 homers, 32 RBI, 64 runs scored, and nine stolen bases in 13 attempts while also sporting a .392 OBP and a .487 slugging percentage. Daily fantasy managers will need to look elsewhere for production while fantasy managers in traditional formats will adjust to not having Kwan in the lineup for a night.
Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan hit his 11th home run of the season in the team's 4-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. Kwan's homer came in the seventh inning and proved to be the difference in Cleveland's win. Kwan is hitting .342 with those 11 homers and 30 RBI in 79 games. Kwan is much-improved in the power department already matching his combined homer total from the past two years combined. The power surge makes Kwan one of the most valuable fantasy performers when healthy.
Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan went 2-for-4 with a single and his ninth home run of the campaign on Saturday to lead the Guardians to a victory. The 26-year-old currently boats an incredible .365/.421/.542 slash line with four swiped bags, 27 RBI, and a 21:22 BB:K ratio. Since June 1, the Oregon State product has tallied a remarkable 39 total hits in 27 games. Under the hood, Kwan holds a .316 xBA, which places him in the top 98th percentile among all hitters. In addition, he holds a 5.9% whiff rate and 8.1% K rate, which are currently the best marks in the sport. Kwan should be considered the top producer in batting average going forward and could finish with a 20/20 season if he continues to showcase his power.
Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan continued his career-year with a 3-for-4 performance in Thursday's victory versus the Chicago White Sox. Kwan also drew a walk in the contest and hit his eighth home run of the season. Kwan entered the season as an afterthought in most drafts, but he has performed as one of the best offensive players in the game during the first-half of the 2024 season. Kwan's big performance raises his batting average to .367 on the season and he has also driven 26 runs and crossed home plate 50 times. Managers holding Kwan should continue to roster him as he has become a true difference maker with his ability to constantly rack up hits, while showing some power in the process. One of the best draft day values this season, Kwan is a must-start in all formats.
