Kwan went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Kwan logged multiple hits for the third game in a row and the fifth time in eight contests this season. The outfielder is batting a stellar .385 with a home run, three RBI and 10 runs scored over eight contests at the top of a surprisingly productive Guardians lineup. Some of his success comes from it being early in the season, but Kwan hit .298 as a rookie in 2022 before dropping to .268 last season -- he's on track for a better showing if he can avoid lengthy slumps in 2024.

Kwan went 3-for-5 with three runs scored in Wednesday's 8-0 win over the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Kwan has multiple hits in four of the first seven games this season, and he's gone hitless just once. The outfielder is 12-for-34 (.353) with three RBI, one home run, nine runs scored and one stolen base. Kwan's also struck out five times, which is unusual for a hitter with a good reputation for plate discipline, but he's been hitting well enough to not make that a concern early in the campaign. The 26-year-old is locked in as the Guardians' leadoff hitter.

Kwan went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a walk, two RBI and three runs in Saturday's 12-3 win at Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

The Guardians have posted 26 runs through three games against the A's, with Kwan setting the table nicely atop the order by going 6-for-15 with six runs and a stolen base. The 26-year-old clubbed just 11 home runs in 305 games across his first two MLB seasons, and his 424-foot shot to right-center field Saturday was a welcome show of power for the contact-oriented outfielder, who entered the year with a career .102 ISO.

Kwan went 2-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 6-4 win over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Kwan remains a lock for the leadoff spot, and he's opened the season 3-for-10 with three runs scored over two games. He's also struck out twice, which is uncommon since he struck out at a 10.4 percent rate (75 strikeouts over 718 plate appearances) last season. Kwan should continue to offer solid contact-hitting skills and a bit of speed, but he's not a significant power source, having hit just 11 homers over his first two big-league seasons combined.

Kwan is 3-for-11 over his first four Cactus League games.

EDGE Analysis

Kwan is about the only sure thing in the Guardians' outfield this spring, as he should be a lock to start in left field. His second big-league season was a little worse than his rookie year -- he slashed .268/.340/.370 in 2023. Kwan is a contact-over-power hitter with a good eye at the plate (9.9 percent walk rate, 10.4 percent strikeout rate in 2023). He should also offer a speed threat after going 40-for-48 on the basepaths over his first two campaigns.

Kwan went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 7-5 win over the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Kwan had gone just 1-for-17 over his last four games before breaking out of the short slump. The steal was his fifth of the month and 21st of the year, two more than he had last season. Kwan has hit .271 with a .718 OPS, five home runs, 54 RBI, 93 runs scored, 36 doubles and seven triples over 156 contests as the Guardians' near-everyday leadoff hitter in his second big-league season.

Kwan is out of the lineup Wednesday versus the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Kwan has started in every game since Aug. 26, so this will be a rare appearance on the bench. In the 22 games since then, the outfielder has slashed .303/.396/.393.

Kwan went 2-for-2 with three walks, a double, a triple, a run scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

It was a huge night from the leadoff spot for Kwan, who is having a blistering finish to the season even as the Guardians fade out of the playoff picture. Over his last 20 games, the 26-year-old is slashing .329/.427/.418 with four steals, 10 RBI and 12 runs, and Kwan has reached base multiple times in five of the last six contests.

Kwan went 2-for-4 with a walk, two runs scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

He drew a walk to open the contest before coming around to score on a Jose Ramirez home run in the next at-bat. Kwan would come home a second time in the next inning after reaching via single and stealing second. The left fielder finished with two hits in the contest, marking his fourth multi-hit performance this month, and he's now hit safely in three of his last four games. Kwan has also swiped four bags already in September after stealing a combined three bases over the previous two months.

Kwan went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Kwan was on the front end of a double steal with Jose Ramirez in the fifth inning. This was Kwan's third steal in September and his 19th of the season, matching his total as a rookie from last season. The outfielder is hitting .289 (11-for-38) in September, a modest improvement on his .272 mark for the year. He's added five home runs, 49 RBI, 84 runs scored, 32 doubles and six triples through 141 contests.
