Ah, yes, the bugaboo of every Guardians’ fans' plans to spend their fall watching their team make a World Series run, a collection of feckless outfield bats.
At the recent Guards Fest, Paul Dolan and Mike Chernoff made it pretty clear that the team wants to see what their internal options have to offer to help fix their offense in 2024. The Guardians, overall, ranked 22nd in wRC+ and last in isolated power in 2023. The Guardians had 16 home runs and a 92 wRC+ from their hitters in 2023. In the past 10 years, the Guardians have had ONE hitter reach 20 home runs while regularly playing outfield (Brantley in 2014).
