The Guardians have a hard hitting problem

Related Topics: Lane Thomas

The Guardians’ offense is atrocious. There’s no other way to say it.

The team is currently 28th in fWAR (0.4), 27th in wRC+ (82), 28th in ISO (.116), and 28th in wOBA (.289). Some of these rankings are a product of bad luck, which you can infer from the team ranking 28th with a .274 BABIP, 9th with a .253 xBA, and 20th with a .312 xwOBA.

Luck is pretty important for a team like the Guardians and their slap-hitting style. Luck is also not something you can coach, or plan for, or build a roster around.
