2024 Fantasy Outlook
Kwan offers batting average, steals and runs at the expense of home runs and RBI. Nobody in baseball whiffs at a lower rate than Kwan (career 10.0 K%) and those contact skills have kept him atop the Guardians' lineup. He's scored 182 runs over the past two seasons, 20th in the majors in that span. Kwan is an impressive runner and improved his efficiency on the basepaths last season, getting caught only three times in 24 steal attempts. The dearth of power makes Kwan a tricky play in certain league formats. In rotisserie leagues, Kwan's deficiencies can be stomached as he does more good than harm and the power can be made up elsewhere. However, in points leagues without a premium for stolen bases, Kwan might not clear the bar, especially if you're only starting three outfielders. Know your league rules well because Kwan's utility varies depending on the format. Read Past Outlooks
Swats homer in win
Kwan went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the White Sox.
ANALYSIS
Kwan already has two homers through 12 contests this season -- it took him until June 3 to hit two long balls in 2023. It's too early to project a career year in power for the outfielder, but he's never hit more than six homers in a campaign, so it's a low bar to hurdle. He's also been exceptional with his contact-hitting approach so far, slashing .386/.397/.526 with five RBI, 13 runs scored and a stolen base through 58 plate appearances atop the Guardians' lineup.

Stat Review
How does Steven Kwan compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Has had extension talks this spring
Kwan and the Guardians have discussed a contract extension this spring, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Cleveland and Andres Gimenez are reportedly finalizing a long-term deal and the club is in "advanced negotiations" with multiple players, although it's not clear whether Kwan falls into that bucket. The outfielder finished third in the American League Rookie of the Year voting last year after batting .298/.373/.400 and winning a Gold Glove. He's under team control through 2027.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Kwan finished third in a strong field for AL Rookie of the Year. His game is contact as he sported a 3rd percentile average exit velocity and 1st percentile hard-hit rate. along with a 78th percentile sprint speed. Even after Kwan became Cleveland's regular left fielder, fantasy managers were skeptical he'd offer ample category juice to warrant a pickup. He mustered only 38 extra base hits, but Kwan surprisingly swiped 19 bases in 24 tries. Add in 90 runs and Kwan was a three-category contributor, the perfect complement for high-power, low-average sluggers. A hitter of Kwan's ilk will be subject to the whims of BABIP, but a minuscule 9.4% strikeout rate and a 9.7% walk rate offer a batting average floor. Kwan's low-power profile is more palatable with the new MLB rules, especially since he plays for a club designed to take advantage. The team build needs to accommodate Kwan, but there's a pathway to profit.
