In case you haven’t heard, the Guardians' lineup was pretty bad in 2025. So bad, in fact, that they set the record for the worst team batting average by a playoff team (.220) while also having the second-worst slugging percentage (.373) of any playoff team.
While José Ramírez put together another award winning season and Steven Kwan had an All-Star first half, the Guardians’ success in 2025 was largely done in spite of their offense, not because of it.
But that doesn’t mean that all hope is lost. First off, things surely can’t be worse.
