As typical, lists ranking players are only correct when a player for the Cleveland Guardians is ranked #1. Some consideration can be made for Top 5 depending on position. The 3-time Gold Glove left fielder was ranked #8 by “The Shredder”. Steven Kwan finished the 2024 season with a .292/.368/.425 line, 4.1 fWAR, and a 131 wRC+ despite missing a month.
