While Rosario is best known for his power at the plate, he also has a cannon for an arm in the outfield that ranks among the best in baseball.

Rosario has played all three outfield positions during his career, but his best work has come in the corners (right and left field).

In his career, he recorded 53 outfield assists, including 16 as a rookie in 2015 and five during last year’s COVID shortened season.

More from Away Back Gone

Having played his entire career in the AL Central, Rosario should have plenty of familiarity with Progressive Field’s dimensions as well as those of the Indians division foes, which also should help his defensive success and cannon for an arm transfer over to Cleveland.
