Kwan went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and five RBI in Friday's 9-4 win over the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

The Guardians' leadoff hitter was at his pesky best, seeing 38 total pitches across his six plate appearances. Kwan put his team in the lead for good in the fourth inning with a two-run double that he slashed just inside the foul line past third base. He also chipped in a sacrifice fly and a two-run single. Kwan's .298 batting average last season was buoyed by a .323 BABIP, but given his contact-heavy approach, those numbers seem eminently repeatable in 2023.

Kwan has gone 3-for-12 with two runs scored and two strikeouts across four Cactus League games.

EDGE Analysis

There's little reason to worry about Kwan's performance at the plate in the spring. He posted a 62:60 BB:K last year while slashing .298/.373/.400 and stealing 19 bases across 147 games. He could regress a slight amount from his .323 BABIP as a rookie last year, but his sharp eye at the plate and contact hitting should keep him in the leadoff role barring a significant slump.
