The Guardians are being patient with Steven Kwan. They need him to be less patient

CLEVELAND — When he steps into the batter’s box and his face pops up on the scoreboard beside a bunch of statistics, Steven Kwan never peeks at those numbers.“Ever,” Kwan said. “(Whether) they’re good or bad.”The numbers are more striking this season, and not just because they’re posted all over the ballpark in 144-point font four or five times each game. More than a quarter of the way into the season, Kwan has yet to find a rhythm at the plate. It’s been an uncharacteristic stretch for a two-time All-Star who has served as Cleveland’s leadoff hitter since 2022.This season, Kwan has logged a .206/.311/.265 line.Advertisement
