After clubbing only 11 homers in his first 305 games, Kwan knocked 14 out of the yard last season, most down the line at home. The surge was supported by a higher fly ball rate and an increased average fly ball distance, but until Kwan displays the same level of pop again, it's best to temper expectations and consider double digits a bonus. His game is still elite contact with a good eye and opportunistic base running. Kwan's exit velocity, hard-hit rate and barrel rate are in single digit percentiles, but only Luis Arraez has sported a lower strikeout rate since 2022. Kwan was limited to only 122 games last season, missing time early with hamstring issue, then late with a sore back. Neither are worrisome for this season. Kwan is an ideal ballast for a roster with some high power, low average contributors. Read Past Outlooks
