These Three Guardians Are Leading The Way As Offense Turns It Around
After a slow, sluggish, idle, (or whatever word you want to use) start for the Cleveland Guardians, the team is finally starting to turn it around.
The bats are clicking and the offense is rolling leading the team to win three of their last four series and a 9-5 record over their last 14 games. The only series they didn't win was a four-game split.
The entire team is looking better at the plate, but there are three players in particular that stand out.
Jose Ramirez
The Guardians follow the lead of their superstar third baseman, Jose Ramirez. J-Ram has been putting on a show at the plate, especially over the last few games.
Dating back to Thursday, he has four home runs, six RBI, and six hits. Ramirez owns a .305 batting average and a .959 OPS in the last 15 days alone and is returning to the MVP form we all know he can be.
Josh Naylor
Many fans outside of Cleveland may know Josh Naylor for his rock the baby celebration or his late-game heroism in Chicago last season.
However, Naylor is more than that and he's proven to be one of Cleveland's best hitters during this stretch. He has the most hits on the team (20) and RBI (13) over the last two weeks and is doing it without the long ball.
Naylor only has one home run in the last 15 days but has sprayed the ball all over the field in the form of doubles.
Will Brennan
It's time to get silly and talk about Willy. Because outside of Naylor, Will Brennan has been red hot during this offensive resurgence.
Brennan is slashing .409/.447/.659 with an OPS of 1.106 over the last 15 days. This includes a pair of home runs, five doubles, and a walk-off in the 14th inning. This is exactly what the team as waiting to see from Brennan and he's finally delivering.
Ramirez, Naylor, And Brennan Combined
Together this trio has a batting average of .372, 33 RBI, 18 doubles, and 26 runs scored in the team's last 14 games, per @CLE_STATS.
This turnaround was going to take a team effort and that's exactly what we're seeing unfold.
