Cleveland Guardians land 3 players in MLB’s hitter power rankings

There are hot-hitting Cleveland Guardians players up and down the lineup to start the year, and they are well-represented in MLB.com’s hitter power rankings.

The Cleveland Guardians offense is humming to begin the year, and people are certainly noticing.

This includes the esteemed minds over at MLB.com, who have released their first-ever hitter power rankings, with the Guardians finding themselves with three players in the top ten: third baseman José Ramírez (#2), infielder Owen Miller (#7), and left fielder Steven Kwan (#10).

Let’s take a look at what MLB.com had to say about each of Cleveland’s hot hitters:

José Ramírez

It’s certainly not a surprise to see Ramírez on the list, and the case could be made that he should be at the top. Through the first 13 games of the season now, Ramírez is hitting a robust .392/.439/.765 with four home runs, five doubles and an eye-popping 255 OPS+.

Here is what MLB.com had to say about the Guardians third baseman:

"The man with the brand-new seven-year contract has been money over the first two weeks of the season. J-Ram is torching opposing pitching, starting off on an 11-game hitting streak, including three three-hit games, four homers (including a grand slam on Wednesday) and an MLB-high 20 RBIs. His video-game-like .429/.479/.881 slash line translates to an absurd (and AL-leading) 298 OPS+ — that’s nearly three times the MLB average."
